I've also wondered if you could stick a higher wattage bulb in the reverse lights, but haven't done much research. Would be nice to get some more candlepower back there.

I dunno about wattage - that's dependent on the wiring, but I think someone on here stuck silverstars back there...

This post came to mind:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=4863Looks like they replaced the bulbs with APC-branded products. As well, I'm not sure of the max wattage capable here.

I would not recommend exceeding the wattage of what's already in there...
