Reverse bottom light for 03 R53

Hey guys,

Given that the 03 only had the bottom light that illuminates in reverse, I would like to get a much brighter bulb, any recommendations?

Which LED bulb would be the best?

Thanks
Shah

look at this thread:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-question.html
A #796 35W halogen bulb is almost twice as bright as the standard 21W bulb,
and fits right in with no problems. I've had one in for the last 5 or 6 years.
Only downside is that the brightness isn't quite as instant-on as a regular bulb,
which is just fine for a reverse bulb but maybe not as good for a brake or turn signal.
