Default recon reverse led bulbs

I got the full led set up for my brake lights, they look sick but the LED reverse light absolutely sucks, to the point where you might as well not have a reverse light. Anyone know of a fix for this, maybe a brighter LED bulb? Its kind of annoying backing up my long dark driveway.

Depends on what style the led is because if it just shoots forwards, the reflectors won't get much action. But I was afraid of switching to LED's for those reverse just for that reason. I actually just added reverse lights up underneath. I'll be posting soon on that.

Very nice stuff there hammer, but the only thing i don't like about it, is that the lights are so close together rather than further out where it needs to be. If your pulling a trailer, those lights are gonna blind you from seeing past the trailer because of so much glare, where as if they were wider apart than your likely to have light go past the trailer. Just my .02

All the years (1991-2004) I fished bass tourney's I woulda killed for a set of lights when backing the boat down a ramp at 5 o'clock in the morning!

Since I don't tourney fish anymore or even own a bass boat, I don't have a use for them. We got a 12v battery, small industrial winch and a light mounted on our dual axle trailer (not mine, but available for my use 24/7 when I'm up at the farm - which beats having to pay for something any day). So I won't be buying that one. Just thought it was cool...
