Default Anyone Upgraded Their Backup Lights?

Anyone upgraded their backup lights to see better when backing up? I would love to see farther in the dark when reversing. What upgraded bulb are you using? Where did you get it?

My OEM's are 16 Watts. OEM part number 921. No idea what color temp the OEMs are. I can get 18 Watt 2800K bulbs at the local auto parts store. But that doesn’t seem like it would be much of an upgrade at all.

I have it makes less of a difference then you think but still is an improvement. But people see you much better. Kind of a pain to get to them through the tail lights tho.

Switched them out to 13SMD white ones to light up abit better and have the white light instead of the dull light amber look.

Does 13SMD improve rear lighting very much when backing up? I noticed on older posts some of the guys were using 38SMDs.
