I don't know if this will help, but that is the same problem I have. I don't have tinted windows, but I still can't see while backing up. And I do a lot of backing up! I think I will be installing some KC back up lights from summit racing. They are a bit expencive though. They trurn on once you shift into reverse. Part # KCC-517 $67.99 2"x6"

I just don't know where to mount them without them getting broken. Brighter bulbs would be nice. If they do make them, maybe thats a better route. Hope this helps and good luck.

Jake

There are a couple of things you can do,

1) Install a pair of driving lites from under the rear bumper and wire them directly into the wire to the back-up lites.

2) There are heligen bulbs you can buy for about $7.00 each that go right into the sockets of the existing bulbs. I haven't tried those, but I did do #1.

Hope this helps you out.
