There are LED reverse bulbs available and they're supposed to be brighter than stock bulbs. I recently bought a set of reverse LED (921 for S197s) bulbs from retrosolutions and I'm waiting for them... I will post pictures up when its done.

What about mounting a reverse light under the bumper where it isnt too noticeable?

I thought of that idea but I went on youtube and saw a bunch of people who have some seriously bright bulbs or something that they're using in place of stock bulbs. The vids weren't of mustangs but I figured someone on here must know how to do something like that

Yeah I was also wondering if they made brighter bulbs because I can't see sh*t either. Sylvania might make them, I remember seeing back up bulbs before but not sure if they would work for the Fox.
