Halogen lamps
I plan on putting halogen lamps in my reverse lights. It comes on advisement of a member here. I am wondering if there are any heat issues inside the bezel with the halogens. Also, can I use halogens in the taillight/brakelights too?

The higher performance of a halogen bulb has to do with a quantity of halogen gas contained within the bulb. As long as the wattage of the halogen is lower or equal to the original bulb, no problems with excess heat should develop.
Also, think about how briefly reverse lights are on, compared to headlights or taillights. Doubt if much heat develops in any event.
