As you are limited to a 21 Watt bulb in a reverse light by law, and that is what you have, there's really not much you can do.

You can get some mega bright LED bulbs for them. I fitted one to the wife’s Polo. It must have made it at lest three times brighter, and that’s from a tiny little light.

Do you want to remain legal, or are you not bothered about legality?

I've been looking for "factory look" work lights which could double for reversing lights (off road) and I think I'll go for a couple of the Scenelight 17's now as they look great on the posted photo's. Mike
