Reversing light

I find the reversing light pretty useless in most situations. Has anyone upgraded the standard bulb? Can you fit an LED type or a more powerful normal bulb, or will this throw up fault notices on the dashboard? What have others done?

Good morning everyone.
Well I finally got around to fitting LED reversing lights on my Ateca. I got them from ebay, after other forum members' recommendations:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T15-Led-Car-Bulbs-W16w-Xenon-White-Canbus-Error-Free-921-Reverse-Parking-Light/372732385979?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

They are very easy to fit, but with limited access to the bulb holders where they are located in the hatchback, anyone with bigger sized fingers will find it a bit of a struggle. Other than that it is a 5 min job for both reversing bulbs.

First thoughts are that they are a lot brighter than the standard bulbs, but as the reversing lights themselves are pretty small, they still don't provide the level of rear illumination I would ideally like, although they are much better. A lot has to do with the fairly limited rear view from the Ateca. These LED lights do not trigger any error messages. All in all they are better than the standard ones and I would recommend their use.

I purchased these by the specs, but have to wait few weeks I suppose:

Those are unbranded. I can only hope those'll do the job.

If anybody fits indicators that dont need a resistor I would love to know. I tried several types in my Mondeo ,great colour and strength but too quick flashing. I dont want to have to go adding resistors.
