You can also put brighter bulbs. I have 55w in mine.
HOWEVER, when looking out the rear window it's still hard to see because
1. The truck is tall and big and
2. Tinted rear window and dimming rear view mirror
I look at my side mirrors and I have plenty of light.
If you need more light you have other options. More powerful bulbs, more lights in the back and finally mount something on top of the truck to get the light from ABOVE instead around the ground.

I found a seller on ebay but they're regular bulbs and not bright white if that's ok?

Yep, right here

Here's another link and I was wrong, they're not 125, they're apparently 130w

Just check your lights. If they say the bulb is H3 than they will. I believe I sent you links for H3 bulbs.
That I know of there are NO different H3's. They are all the same except for wattage and color and all that.
