Slightly off topic, good source for upgraded reverse lights

Like I said slightly off topic but I was backing the wife's 2014 Toyota Sienna out of the driveway last night and the reverse lights are so faint you can hardly see anything in dark. Anyone have a good source for upgraded LED backup lights? I haven't had any luck with the auto zoo in store blubs in previous vehicles, I used diesel leds in my 2002 and they were awesome but unsurprisingly they don't have anything for an minivan. Any one have a source they have used in the past?

Thanks in advance.

Rigid makes a nice back up light you can mount into your back bumper. I did it on my f450 and it was (no pun intended) night and day.

Thanks man, sorry I should have stated ideally I would be looking for an led upgrade for the OEM reverse light housing if possible. The van is great (three kids, power sliding doors are a godsent) but I am convinced it is 85% plastic, not sure of where I could mount anything.

My apologies boss, only two forums I generally visit are the alumiduty and the 6.7 pages.

I'd look to Superbrightled's website checking on drop in replacement reverse tail light bulbs. Mind you adding them to some automotive circuits to the stock operation, never know until you try though.

If a brightly illuminated path while in reverse is important adding additional bumper mounted lamps might be a better choice, on a separate switch so they could be turned on without actually being in reverse gear.
