Reverse Bulbs

What is the brightest, Hyper White set of Reverse Bulbs out there? Not only do I want it for looks, but I especially need them to light up my rear because of my tint. The stock bulbs ain't cuttin it anymore with tint. PIAA, Polarg, etc. ? What do you guys suggest or personally have and are satisfied with?

Well...right now I'm in the process of converting to h3. Once I get the harness in the mail, I'm going to order HID ballasts and wiring too. It should be a fun lil project.

But right now I have stock and they suck

My wife's Odyssey has the same fat head 194 looking bulbs as my Maxima. I put H3 halogen bulbs in there as replacements with some high temperature engine silicone, spliced into the stock wiring and it works fine.

They do get super hot if left on too long but since they are only on when reversing, the housing hasn't gotten hot enough to melt or deform the lense in any way. I used the 55w regular clear H3's.

Next up is my Maxima, should work fine there too. I was even thinking of a toggle switch so I could "high-beam" people behind me.

No room for strobes in my Gen II's.

The only way would be to replace the bulbs with strobes but then that would be funky backing up without regular bulbs.

Perhaps a wig-wag of the LED brake lights/reverse H3 halogens will have to suffice.
