Default HID backup lights?
I swapped my left backup light to HID....(not the blue bulbs, REAL HID)....unfortunately its 6000K instead of 4300-5000K, but still damn bright.

I saw those but the Prius backup lights are too high up for the projector bulbs.

I've honestly wondered why backup lights aren't brighter.

I mean I understand that indicator lights are good but rear projection lights for navigating backwards in the dark is even better.

If it's rainy and dark outside I don't want to curb my wheels!

The brighter the better! Backing up with tints or even with your back-up camera leaves a lot of unseen territory out there in the black.
