i always found that reverse lights are not for you to see, but so that cars behind can tell that you're reversing. (thus the universal white-reverse-light)
never had the scenario where it was so dark that I couldnt see what's behind me. brake lights, which you'd 99% be pressing when reversing, gives plenty of light

I agree. Cutting into factory wires and using it for higher output is not safe. Wires thickness or thinness in this case determines how much power it can handle and I don't think the reverse light wiring is thick enough to handle additional output. I think the proper way to do is hook up new thicker wires or get a fog light. Better be safe than sorry.

HID's run pretty cool compared to halogen bulbs, have you ever touched a tail light after them being on for a while?
They get hot, as for power drawings the size of the wire back there is about the same size as the wiring to headlights fyi.

http://www.jlclightings.com/default.asp where I got them. I'm not sure which one it is because I went to the store in person to get them. You could contact them and ask. Plug and play.
(don't click on the pics cause they are enormously huge)
