Back-up/reversing lights
I've replaced my tail lights with LEDs so have lost my back-up lights. I need them to pass inspection out here and eventually, in Australia so who's running after market back-up lights?
Is anyone using LED reversing lights? Rhino make some but I don't know how good they are?
I've also found these ones:
And these ones - 5000K white LED reverse lights:
I've also seen these Recon 2-Piece Universal Projector Reverse Light Kit
Anyone recommend anything?

I shouldn't have a problem with amber indicators now as I've modified the tail lights to run red LED tail/brake lights and amber LED indicators.

If you are concerned about the brightness, during a day test if they see the white lights come on, that should do it.
Some cars have BU lights on both sides of the lic. plate.
I have had 4 tail lights for years & use the Corvette spare tire lighting method for BU lights.

I'm concerned that I don't have any back-up lights! What's the "spare tire" method?

I meant brightness of the aftermarket lights.
The spare light is a bulb hanging down.
A very lightweight setup w/ the original b/u hidden bouncing off the chrome ex. tips.
Probably would not do it for you.
