Years ago, I bought a couple 6 LED external light to use as backup lights. Then I read a post about fixing the existing lights. It was fairly simple. I used the below mentioned LEDs and then created a reflector using a 16 oz plastic soda bottle lined with aluminum air conditioning tape and fit it into the stock tail light assy. NOW I can see backing up. Took about an hour and worth every second of time invested.
