Thats what Im looking for.. I dont have any halogen bulbs left in my car.. I have replaced everything with led or HID and the reverse lights are the only ones I have never been happy with. Everyone knows that LEDs look bright but have low light output so they are useless as reverse lights. And with my 15% rear window, tinted tails and area that I live in I need some bright *** lights. Here is an update.

I went into my Box O' HIDS to find a pair that I wanted to use..

I wanted to use 5k because Thats the ishhhhh yo! And thats whats in my headlights and projector fog lights.
I wanted somthing that was plug and play with a normal ballast and didnt need adapters and that would mount up nicely to the housing.

So I settled on a pair of 5k 9006 bulbs. They needed a bit of modding.

Now the back plate of the bulb sits flush against the back of the housing and will be easy to attach.

Here are both completed bulbs with the wires that I will use to get the turn on signal from the reverse light harness to the ballast.

Now I just need to pick up some ballasts and make a relay harness to go to the battery (im just going to run it to my subs amp since thats already in the trunk) and bam.. should be done in a few days!
