Looking to replace Reversing lights

Hello, I have a kia ceed 3,1.6 crdi 60plate facelift & want to change the reverse light bulbs for something more brighter* (dark narrow driveway and country lanes) which LED LIGHT would you go for here the link:

Good luck with that tbh, on my old truck I replaced the reversing bulbs with higher wattage items but the improvement was negligible, instead I use the "catwalk light" which is effectively a spotlight that points straight back. This works beautifully (when I don't have a trailer attached obviously) although I doubt it will be too great on a Kia Ceed, maybe have it mounted flush into the bumper perhaps? Although I'd guess this would be a pricey thing to do, never mind convincing can bus to like it!

What if you turn your rear fogs on? Make sure to turn them off though.

Try Halogens instead (the image is incorrect)
