Default Reverse Light Upgrade

On my 03 & 04 the reverse lights are on the bumper and are good as I can see whats behind me in the dark.

On my 02 the reverse light is up high and is useless for the most part. I put new bulbs in but no improvement. I found these on ebay and thought I might mount them somewhere in the rear.

Has anybody got a better idea?

Got a rack? Mount a work lamp and tie it into your reverse lamp circuit. Works great!!

I want to mount one of these in the gate between the tag and the spare. Haven't pulled the door card yet though to see if there is room inside.

I like those and have toyed with the exact same idea (and same lights) but I just couldn't find the right place to put them. I ended up with some super bright LED lights in the stock housing. They are better than the regular lights but not a solution. I have dark tinted windows so, sadly, carrots really don't help.
