Expert Reply:
If you are looking for a round backup light then I recommend part # BUL53CB but if you are looking for an oval backup light then I recommend part # BUL52CB. Both of these backup lights are completely submersible. The round light has 36 diodes with a 275 candella rating and the oval light has 36 diodes with a 175 candella rating therefore the round light will be a bit brighter than the oval light.
In order to mount the round light you will also need part # A45GB or part # A70GB for the oval light. In addition to the groment, the wiring harness part # A45CB will make installing either light very easy with only two connections.
