@mxrider116 I have diode dynamics xp80s or whatever and they are 500 or so lumens, unbelieveable bright. Works awesome with backup camera too, you can see everything! They are about as bright as the backup lights snowplows use if that means anything to you.

I found JDM ASTAR LED reverse bulbs by searching here. They continue to work perfectly on my 2018 LT. $14.98 and 1000 lumens. The backup camera works fine with them.

I have JDM Astar as well, just a different version:

JDM ASTAR Auto LED Bulbs,LED Headlight,Fog Lamps & Turn Signal Brake Tail Light

 

I noticed they are not " error free". you havent had any issues?
@Blue15ColoradoLT

 

I used the Diode Dynamics reverse lights (whichever ones were their brightest option), and they are awesome! Reversing at night, looking through my tinted windows, I have no problem.

 

nope. issue free. I got them 3 years ago.

Here's my LED thread for everything on my truck:

Thank you. I really appreciate it!

 

Thanks for the backup light upgrade info, guys. Would you happen to know location/ID of the backup light fuse? I have fuse boxes, one under hood and another by passenger floorboard on right hand side.

 

There is a relay and fuse for the trailer backups under the hood but it looks like the trucks backups are powered right from the BCM. Must be a BCM fuse protecting them I guess.

I had some LED backups for a while, didn't impress me much esp when one died after about a month. They looked really bright looking at them but didn't seam to throw much light so to speak. Camera was ok with them. I changed them back to reg bulbs.

 

LED's can cause glare at night in the backup camera, I think it depends more on the individual. I used these backup bulbs, been in for a year and no problems.

Just an update.

Here is what I went with for the reverse lights. zero issues, not to crazy bright, and no errors.

Thanks everyone for all your help!

 

The HD50 or whatever they are from Diode Dynamics are way too expensive IMO.

I have a pair of JDM's in my truck now, and they are a little brighter than stock with no errors. Although I prefer brighter, so a pair of flush mounted lights are in the future.

The glare because of the "brighter lights" IMO is because of the shitty quality, $0.25 made in China camera on the truck and it's just as bad as when you step on the brakes when reversing at night.

 

I used these, no errors and they're blinding with how much light they put out. Backup camera is much clearer now as a bonus in formerly low light areas.

I used the 800 lumen version for the utility lights in the 3rd brake light. Also great function but I need to roll up my tonneau and lower tailgate to get a true benefit from them for working with the trailer or straps. I'm still debating a pod light that swings out or something near the tailgate.

 

I think the OP needs what are called CANBUS LEDs.
