Default Hid reverse lights?

A whille back I was having trouble finding reverse led lights that were bright/white enough, but today I found a couple Youtube videos feat. a RL with Hid converted reverse lights. Looked great to me. Does anyone here have Hids as reverse light on their S??

I would rock them. Not to be a ricer or anything, but those damn little backup lights they have are POS's! The oem lights dont light up shit! I bet those of you who're questioning the OP have never driven backwards in a non-streetlit area...its terrible!

I bought 3W LEDs in hope that they'd make it brighter/better (3W LED's are whats in the higher end LED flashlights...) but they were pieces of crap too! 20-30bucks a pop!

I know newer caddy's have them stock..and its not as though youre going around with your backup lights on (therefore not ricer...?) Its function>fashion

I've never considered the purpose of reverse lights as anything other than an indicator to people behind the car. I don't think they are intended to illuminate the area behind the car for backing up.
