I got the bulb set i linked off amazon, 80w crees, once i got them plugged in the right way and socket, major difference, they are at least 4-5x brighter then the incandescent stock bulbs, i put them behind the clear box in the light cans, they only come on in reverse so i shouldnt accidently blind anyone 
with 2 of them i get a nice bright clear view in either side mirror now, and the little bit of back window i can see out of is alot more visible too
well worth 40 bucks.

So you just exchange existing bulbs for these and thats it ?
Direct replacement ?

i did swap them by removing the bulb socket from the back of the light assembly, because when i tried to take out all 4 screws and pop the lid off, mine were glued or something and wouldnt pry off, so i just turned and removed them from the back side. do the bulbs on the bottom behind the clear area, the other light in the red zone is used for brake and blink and these bulbs dont work in that socket as intened. they work great in the clear area socket though.

I have these: 2X 3157 3156 White Cree Q5 12 5050 SMD LED Backup Light Bulbs Projector Lens | eBay
They are very bright and a monkey can install them. Do they make all the difference when backing up with a lifted rig? They help but not the be-all-end-all solution. Regardless, a cheap improvement worth the $25.
