backup light problem

okey i have a 1997 corolla with 20% tinted windows
i have also tinted my reverse/backup and turn signal portion in my rear light
now the problem is that when ever i am in reverse the visibility is very low and i can hardly see anything

i tried some LED bulbs but those dint work very well at all

here are some PIAA extreme white bulbs
what do you guys think should i try those?
i dnt want the heat to melt my rear light or anything

I have 5% on my 91 and it's super dificult to see! I used 360 degree LED bulbs barely helped. I modified my spoiler so now I have a 6 SMD LED strip. It's the led strips that are on sideways. It lights up alot better! But I still can't see ! Your best bet would be to HID your reverse lights yes it is possible. I was wondering if your bulbs go on sideways like mine do? Cause if so, just roll down the window and stick your head out the window ! Lol

lol, so there's nothing wrong with your backup lights. Just you for installing so many tints!

Your best bet is probably to install some rear-facing fog lights under the bumper with a relay harness to the battery and reverse lights.
