Default Looking for the brightest 921 backup light bulb

I have a 2nd gen gs and with my window tints sometimes its hard to see when backing up at night. I currently have some leds in there, but they are just not bright enough. I used to have the v-leds plate frame with the leds which was very bright, but due to poor design the frame corroded and almost all the leds burned out. What is my best and brightest option? Is a cree led the way to go?

I was looking at ijdmtoy

http://store.ijdmtoy.com/T15-912-921...t15_sku311.htm

or

http://www.jlclightings.com/CREE-5W-...p/cr-39008.htm

or v-leds

http://www.v-leds.com/6K-WHITE-9W-LE...96372-1-2.html

any opinions?

Go with these:

These are probably one of the brightest lights for a 921 bulb size in an LED form available currently.. many customers have bought this from us on this forum and they're really with them. Here's a review:
