    You could put some LEDs in the corner of your license plate holder on your bumper and wire them into your reverse lamp. Or wire a white LED strip somewhere inconspicuous on the rear, thats wired into the reverse lamps.

    Well the point of tint is to eliminate light input/output. So I dont know if they make a LED powerful enough to blast through that for you to be able to see backin up. My tails are tinted as well as the windows. I have to open my door to see what the hell Im backing into.

    LEDs don't produce as much light output per watt as incandescent do. you still won't be able to see.

    I saw a picture a while back of a newer mustang, where the owner had put a couple of rectangular fog lights sideways on both sides of the license plate. It looked like it would be quite effective.

    Something along the lines of this:
