The brightest, submersible, 12 volt LED light that can be used as a backup light is # BUL10CB. It is flush mount (use grommet # a70gb). LED are brighter than incandescent lights.

You will also need a wiring harness, # A49PB, to connect to the light. While the light is submersible, the wiring connections will need some attention to keep out water. I recommend using use shrink tubing. You can also use liquid electrical tape, # SWC50122, to cover wiring splices to keep out water.

Dielectric grease, # 11755, should be used between the light and the wiring harness.

These lights are certified as backup lights when installed as a pair in a 2-lamp system. The 2-lamp system would also provide more light.
