LED backup bulbs

Just had the tint on the front windows matched to the back windows, my reverse lights went from marginal to useless after tinting the windows. What are the most powerful/brightest replacement bulbs for the stock tail lights? I did some searching but couldn't find a real definitive answer to my question

IMO, anything you put in the stock location isn't going to be suffice with tint. When needed I roll down my fronts enough to see the mirrors. However, there are lighting options out there, and some of the guys here, D8Chumley for one, has put some brighter reverse lights mounted beneath the bumper. Anything you can do to get the light closer to the ground will help. I searched for their threads but didn't uncover what I wanted.

Yep, were the most miserable reverse lights I've ever had the pleasure of owning . Those LED backup lights were really good. Seems like there are more and more options though for some off-brand LED lights that may perform just as well for reversing duties.
