reverse light not bright enough?

i have almost no complaints about my GE8 and the things i dont like i swap out for what fits my taste, but im wondering does anyone know of any option for a brighter reverse light bulb?

maybe an LED light that can replace the same bulb?

if anyone has an idea or something they've done, let us know.

The USDM light is crazy small compared to the other markets lights for the reverse bulb... you would have to change out the complete light assy to a JDM one to really get a better back up bulb option.... but there are other ways too

Unless you get a whole retrofitted LED mount (not just the simple LED replacement bulbs, LED PnP replacement bulbs don't work for anything higher than 5W bulb.) Maybe find a 7440 bulb that is rated higher than the standard 21W?

what other options are there dave? althought a back up fog light sounds kool, i rather not tear up my first new car. i dont really wanna do any retrofitting incase i have to go back to stock for any reason.

i do plan on getting the jdm oem led tail lights later on so i would like something i could just swap over from tail light to tail light
