back-up light bulbs

What is the best bulb for the back-up lights? The stock ones are not very good and it is a pain to try and back up at night. Is there a bulb out there that is brighter than the ones the truck comes with. Thanks for any input on this.

Sounds like you need to mount some lights on the rear. With the small lens area seems like it'd be hard to get any big light out of it.

That's what I've been hearing. I just wasn't sure if there was something else to try.

The bulbs are 921, and no, there is no direct replacement that would give off more light (without causing damage to the stock lamps).

Do a reverse fog light install. Its easy to do and the results are fantastic.
