    superbright has a chart online that helps you out.

    Wheeler's five pack leaf springs, Bilstein 5100s (rear), front tint, windshield top tint, Century Camper Shell/Cap/Topper, Wade window visors, Wade bug shield, cassette adaptor (so I can play Slacker Radio via my phone!), Sunday Blues with Dar sticker, Wounded Warrior Project sticker, no NRA sticker 'cause I don't wanna advertise ;-)
    I think I got those same reverse lights...I love them. They are fairly directional though (straight out the back), but do help a lot since I got the cap...can see pretty well when backing at night now ;) I did see some that have 360 degree LEDs (which would offer more spread)...will have to see if I can remember where I saw them...

    Here's the expired eBay listing of the ones that I got (for the 01-04...there's another version for earlier models): http://www.ebay.com/itm/151007966900?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649&afsrc=1

    They are a LOT more bright than the incandescents...

    Just replaced my reverse bulbs with LEDs and they're BRIGHT!!! by Kathy / Analog Soul Photography, on Flickr

    They were well worth the $15.99 for two.

    I think RMAN got the ones from superbrightled.

    Cost about $20 each but he says they're insanely bright.

    My led bulb is from superbrightleds.com.. The domelight was <$10 including shipping. Part number for a 98-00 is 3022-xHP4.. The x digit will be replaced when you choose a color. Mine is the cool white so it's 3022-CWHP4. I'm not sure about the reverse light part number, but I will probably be buying those next. These OEM ones suck! You can type the model of your truck into superbrightleds though and it will tell you exactly what bulbs you need.
