Default Backup light question

Ok I'm needing some backup lights because I can't see crap when backing up.You won't hear me say this much but I have a little money to spare no more than 25.I was at Wal-Mart and they have some platinum burners offroad road lights. 2 different sets caught my eye but I couldn't find any reviews on either of them and didn't want to waste my money before checking them out.the 1st set were the offroad ones the 2nd ones were a thin line of leds that said on the box for offroad or show.the only reason I looked at them is because they are small and will mount on my rear bumper easy plus I heard the less are really bright vs the big offroad lights.Has anyone used these or know anything about these lights or maybe know where I can pick some up at another store that is better quality/brighter like advance,auto zone,O'Reillys, tractor supply or home depot. If possible I'd like to buy them tomorrow because I'm planning on going wheeling this coming weekend at royal blue.also if anyone knows the best way to mount them on my bumper so I can see with them and they won't get in the way of my hatch please let me know. Thanks

^That LED is awesome. I have two of them on my brush guard. Here is a thread with my experience with them:

Avoid Walmart "off road" lights. They are garbage. I had them and they were as dim as the XJ headlights.
