I picked up some of the Sylvania bulbs that are supposed to be 250% brighter than stock lights and they are lucky if they are 5% brighter. You guys have any suggestions??

so, your lookin for some serious backin up lights. Buy and mount a small set of driving lights (the long thin ones work best) and use your reverse bulb trigger to trigger a relay, turning the driving lights on. If it's a truck....they'd look gay on a car!

I didn't know that Sylvania made them. Are you talking about the "50 Watt Halogen Back-up bulbs"? I have heard of them causing problems by burning out the back up switch.
