any compatible models of backup lights for 85 300TD and similar?

Ive had no back up lights for a while now as thay are ridiculously expensive new and they seem to be a hard find used for me up here in Canada.

Ive been keeping my eye out for a brand or model of backup lights that would fit the cavity in the bumper well, even if it needed some modifiaction. I know some LED back up lights exist but If you dont get a quality LED, you can really end up with crap and practically no light at all.

If anyone has any suggestions Id love to hear them.
Thanks
M

LED's have come along way too. 5 or 10 watt ones are common with bigger ones coming.

That is opposed to the 50+ watts the normal ones draw.
