Default Looking for good/bright Reverse Lights

I ended up tinting my back window...and well obviously now it's dark, but also darker than I expected.
It's a bit hard to see out of now at night when backing up, and for safety reasons, I would like to correct that problem.
I don't mind having a separate housing than the tail-lights themselves (as in attaching it to the bumper), just wondering what people are running.
I have a few bookmarked that I like, just personal experience speaks volumes over some seller's writeup.
Looking for something that is a good combo of bright along with range/projection
I saw a guy on a plow forum with these
http://www.awdirect.com/hella-double...d-work-lights/
however I'm not sure if I am sold at 56 each.
I know tractor supply has these 10 dollar ones, however the range on them isn't the greatest as I know someone with them.

Thanks

KC Hilites and PIAA both have purpose built back-up lights that are supposed to have a flood beam pattern good for reverse lights.

Piaa's are the 1500 series (1520 single, 1540 double), but they're very proud of them
KC Hilites has a couple series including the 26 series that are a lot more affordable

I just roll my windows down if it's too dark lol. I did get some sylv bulbs like stated above and they are quite a bit brighter, still don't get the job done sometimes though.
