Thumbs up Best LED bulb for reverse lights?

Hey, I'm looking at Superbright LED's website and I see the 7440 bulbs, but I'm not sure which one is the brightest, which is what I'd want.

Can anyone chime in with experience on the best/brightest LED bulb for the reverse lights? Probably want to stay close to the 5000-6000K range for color...

TIA.

Ive tried led reverse bulbs and they all look great, but the actual light output was bad. The stupid normal clear bulbs always produced better visibility when backing up.

Thanks - if that's the case I'm fine with halogens, I was looking for brighter light more than anything.
