give a link on those bulbs, i thought about doing that but lazy when i put my new tails on didn't want to wait.
edit: you should paint your tailgate handle black to match. it sticks out in my eyes.

Frankly, the light output from all "stock" reverse lights sucks... the only way to get decent backup lights is to run two flood lights off the back...
Had LEDs in back-ups, ran into a problem where they would not turn off. The lights were on ALL of the time. I called superbright and they had no way to fix this issue. Also blackedge is correct, light output does suck. So in ending, may you have better luck than I did.
Those tail lights look pretty good.
I have LED reverse lights too and they're actually pretty bright. I got mine from V-LED's.

L1224R LED tail light conversion for stock tail lights.
that would be AWESOME! but i would put them on a switch, so they can also be used as blinders
L1224r's are red, they wouldn't work for his reverse lights

actually these are very bright. 30 LED's total in each bulb.
all around the sides and then theres a bunch on the top. the output is better then my incandescents were. i'll try and get some night shots.

The only problem I have with my LED reverse lights, is that most of the leds aim to the back, so they don't use the reflector in the housing to focus the light, so the beam penetration is less. But they look awesome!

thanks! yeah these ones fill up the housing quite nicely imo
and even if they did suck, theres no place here that i need to have backup lights for seeing. everything here is pretty much lit. lol

those are like 18 bucks each, i was gonna order some, but i've spent way to much this month on parts/tools :)
i picked up an impact wrench and some sockets tonight, and new bulbs for my front turn signals.
