Default Reverse lights

Now I've been thinking for a while on how I can get
more light when I'm backing up. I can't see anything right now in the dark cause my lights just sent bright enough. So I was thinking and prob over thought it and has been done befor so if so I'm sorry. But I was thinking this of cutting circles or rectangles or squares into my stock bumpers and fitting them some lights. Not huge off road lights but something like foglights I guess. 1.would this even look good? 2. What do you guys think

Do a search on amazon about reverse light and you'll find some that doesn't require a hitch

i got some blacked out euro tails off ebay for less than 100 bucks... i dont like how they look... but the reverse lights are pretty damn bright... thats the only reason i dont put my stock tails back in... im always setting my parking brake and putting it in reverse with the engine not running ... cleaning out and unhooking my boat... and the new euros are pretty bright for the reverse lights.. i got pics of mine installed if you want to see them

They look good in the pictures but i dont like how they look up close there just to boxy in person

a buddy of mine has basically these exact same things set up on his duramax and they are set up under his bumper so they dont stick out like sore thumbs. most of his light gets directed low but they make a HUGE difference when you are looking in your side morrors. He has his hooked up on an aux switch so he only turns them on when he needs/wants to.

and man do they sure freak someone out that is tailing him to closelike me for instance
