The amount of llght from reversing lights is standard as is only an indication of a vehicle reversing.
So as above, fitting LEDs may make the light output brighter but light is still restricted by the disco's light fitting, fit an under bumper flood light if you have issues in the dark reversing.
Same as done on vehicles without reversing lights. Simples.

I wasn't impressed with the standard reversing lights either, nor was I with LEDs to be frank. I did bite the expense bullet and fitted Cree LEDs and they do make quite a difference. The only trouble I've found with them is that they create a bit of radio interference, but only when reversing. But as discool says, in law they're really nothing more than an indication to others that you've engaged reverse gear, they were never intended to be backward facing headlights.
Thanks for the replys guys, as always it appreciated, it just really for the wife up the yard, no other lights around, so almost pitch black at night.
was thinking about these, just fit them to the underside of the bumper i guess

I've put a pair of LED worklights on the rear roof bar.
Not wired in yet (a job for a dry day!) but am going for a switch on the dashboard so that if I need a bit of extra light when reversing I can turn them on and light up the area behind me.
