Custom rear bumper lights

I just had a steel fab guy make me a 1/2" plate for my rear bumper. I had holes cut into it so that I can have the lights behind it. I have a mesh grill covering it against material that may fall back and break the lights(dirt, rocks etc). What lights do you all have back there? I am looking for a LED type, would like something really bright. But don't want to go for broke either. Suggestions?

Thanks

I went to napa and got a set for both tail and backups for under 100, 4 lights total. I'm happy with them. I did have the regualer bulbs before and I would replace one a year. I'm happy with the led's. The backups are bright, I'm going to add some more for off road use. But just the led's work good in parking lots.

Check out the lights at http://www.awdirect.com/truck-lighting/ for the LED's to get an idea and then go to your local Truck Parts to buy them, they really are not that expensive anymore but stay away from places like Auto Zone and the like.

Grote and TruckLite usually have a lifetime warranty on them.
