Here's my thread with a video. 42 SMD LEDs

Let me know how those work for you. They look like they focus the light a lot more than all those other LED replacements in this thread. Everyone thinks that if it's brighter looking at the light than it puts out more light. Couldn't be further from the truth.
^^Like I said before, the higher the wattage, the more usable light. Those would work better on a Firebird due to the design of the housing. Camaro reverse lamps have a frosted lense and greatly rely on the reflector for light output, therefore using a bulb that have a 360 degree viewing angle like the ones I posted from v-leds and autolumination will work best for Camaros..
EDIT: Check out this thread: These bulbs are very similar to the ones you posted^^
