I fitted a very bright LED white lamp to replace the reversing light bulb. It was a 2 minute simple bulb change - lay on the floor, have someone carefully reverse over you until you can see the bulb (OK, that's not true, scoot yourself under there) and the bulb holder can be seen.
A quick twist and flip and the bulb is changed. LED bulbs only go in one way, so if at first you don't succeed, try again.
Next came the side repeaters, a little more fiddly as you have to loosen the splash guards and get your hand up behind the existing light unit to pop it out. If you are lucky, your light unit clip will be a bit more springy and you can do it by gentle pressure from the outside.
Lastly, on the bulb front, I changed the front indicator bulbs for ultra-bright LED ones. Some blood was spilt in getting your hand up behind the splash guards in the wheel-arch.
Note - I did not get hyper-flashing as I had changed my rear indicators to LED and had fitted a ballast resistor, more on that later.
You could probably do laser eye surgery with these, they are BRIGHT - people will definitely see you indicating. No use in an Audi or BMW though, for obvious reasons!
