LEDs are the most popular choice. I'd go with something like this:

^^^ those are probly the best option...the 5 dollar LED ones you can see a little at night, but its not an improvement over stock that's for sure...cree is probly your best choice

You're right, you need T20 type LED bulbs. So something like this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/7440-992-Cree-12-SMD-5050-LED-Back-up-Turn-signal-Driving-DRL-HID-Xenon-T-/170937013194?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27cca3d3ca&vxp=mtr
But, if you need them to be super bright (as bright as your headlights), you can go with li442il's suggestions.

You use your reverse lights as illumination?

retro solutions makes a great quality reverse lamp, I have had mine for 4 years no issues.

bought these and am very happy http://store.ijdmtoy.com/50W-CREE-R4...s-p/20-338.htm
only other bulbs I would consider are the VLEDs Trition V3 -- but they're $100 and not in stock (lifetime warranty tho)
