You should have ordered a set of the LED reverse lights from one of the forum vendors. The ones I have allow me see 25ft behind the car.
Don't get me wrong, those don't look bad.

Those do look good, but as said above, there are several forum vendors that sell very bright LED lights that will really enable you to see well when backing up. May be too late now, but if you decide in the future to go a different route, contact JW Motoring or theradioflyer and see what they can set you up with.
The important thing is that you are now able to see better when backing up - that can save a lot of headache.

I've seen the listed upgrades from various vendors. Since I have my original reverse lights covered with smoked covers, they restrict the light from those locations. These were designed as fog/driving lights and they almost completely fill the opening in the bumper. Not sure how long they will last but the price was very reasonable.
They are held in place with 3M double stick tape.

Where can you get replacement LED back-up lights that are much brighter than the bulbs that fit in the OEM enclosure?
I bought LED back up lights from a forum vendor a few years ago. They were not as bright as the oem bulbs . I returned them and he honored the refund policy. However, I would still like to have brighter back up lights.

They are shown in the Adjure housing, but will work in the OEM housing as well.

We have a version of the LED bars which are a little more subtle mounting inside the vent:
Our setup comes with an aluminum mounting bracket that is designed to install using the factory exhaust hanger bolts.
