Some years ago, tiring of the POOR light cast by the single OE backup bulb, I installed a Pilot Tractor light under the bumper, and have been quite happy with it.
However, I wanted MORE, so when Sylvania came out with its Silver Star improvement, I installed one. Actually, the purchase was prompted by one of the two on my p'up burning out and, since they come two in a pack...
They are currently $10 for the pair most everywhere: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/ ... 096_0_1556_
The results are pretty dramatic - see the photos below; note that I covered my tractor light for this.
The first photo is from the D/S rear view mirror area and the second is from a few feet out from the B-pillar.

I did this at my daughter's house. They already think I'm nuts for working on the car with the garage door up all through the night.
