In a few weeks I'm going to have my tail lenses tinted and there going to be 5%. Can someone please recommend what LED back up bulbs and tail light bulbs to use for this application. I understand the light output with the factory bulbs will be greatly reduced with this tint , therefore looking to use the much brighter LED bulbs so it won't be an issue seeing the brake and parking lights during the day time hours. I looked on American Muscle and they didn't seem to have the LED bulbs I was looking for. Any suggestions on what company and brand LED bulbs I should get? Much thanks for your help.

You're gonna get beraided for tinting the tails that dark on here, just a warning lol.
As for the LEDs, the taillights are already LED, so no sense changing those. For the reverse lights, I used VLEDS website and they will tell you what bulbs you need. I prefer pure white with NO blue tint. Most LEDs you get for the reverse lights will wind up being bluish. I hunted for 5500K bulbs to make sure they were pure white.
