Default Aftermarket reverse lights, who's got some?

I am looking to add some aftermarket lights to the back of my truck to help with backing up at night. I have 5% window tint over my rear factory tint on my back window. If it weren't for my reverse camera on my rearview mirror I wouldn't be able to see at all. So my question to you all is, Who is running aftermarket lights? Do you have pictures of your set up? Also any suggestions would be great!

Thanks in advance,

Mudweiser

I've been looking at getting some Rigid SR-Ms to mount under the rear bumper. They seem to hold up very well to road grime and salt.

I have been looking at the rigid lights for back up lights as well. That or recon. I want to get something that won't be to noticeable or look to crowed.

I have considered that as well. My issue is that I want the lights I install to either streamline or very unnoticeable until they are on. Maybe a singles light bar from rigid.

I did the LED bulbs in the back-up lights, but felt it wasn't quite enough !
I installed a set of LED motorcycle driving lights from Amazon under the bumper.
They cost about $20, are fairly small, and throw out enough light without being obnoxious ?
