I LOVE Michael's set-up! very clean!
I do have a white knight rear lighting system, that combined with my LED reverse light bulbs i have no issues seeing. I would like to add some very slim LED's that i can hide but are very bright in the future.
the LEDs in the taillights

Its quite similar to my setup. I used these LED Flood Lights.
I have 4 of them. 2 backwards at the tail and 1 on each side at the front doors facing backwards with an 45 Angle. All 4 are activated by shifting in Reverse.
I really can recommened this setup.

I have the "super bright" LED bulbs in my reverse lights and don't like them.
This next summer when I have the X out I will also be looking at reverse light options. Personally I am not a fan of "extra" lights that don't look like they were there from the factory. However if they are small enough and fit somewhere inconspicuous and are bright I may consider.
I have been thinking of installing halogen headlight bulbs in my factory reverse housings. Sure they get to hot and might melt the housing if left on. But honestly my reverse lights are never ever on for more than a few minutes at a time ever.

While they are brightish, and light up a good area behind the X they aren't "super bright". The area is lit up and fairly easy to see if you are standing outside of the X but while in the X using the mirrors stuff just isn't lit well enough for my liking.
