Backup lights

What is the brightest bulb you can get for the backup lights without changing the socket?would it be worth wiring them into a relay similar to the guys do on the headlights? There is a power wire going back to the back right there next to the trailer plug.

Re: Backup lights

The silly back up lens is nearly useless, even if the bulb is better.

I wired a pair of Quad LED lights below my hitch, and my back up looks like head lights, and the wattage is low, so just jump off your harness, and the lights are very bright!!
