reverse fog light with white LEDs?

Has anyone seen a reverse fog light with a clear lense and white LEDs? I would like to have it hooked to the reverse lights for better night time backing.

Oh yes... I can blind people with my bulbs. Each bulb contains 3 Luxeon Rebel pushing over 600mA. This is "version 1.0," or first attempt for the 370Z. Next time it will be something even brighter (i.e., Cree XM-L with 750-1000mA driver).



What you should get is the smoked version of the fog light from EVO-R, pull it apart, and drop in some powerful LEDs like the Luxeon Rebels or Cree LEDs. Rig it to a 750-1000mA driver, and you should be good.

I don't think people in their cars will actually see it.. since it's at the bottom of the bumper. Hence "Fog" light.. That's just my opinion.
