different wiring and to my knowledge the other lights in the car are not relayed like a head light would be. Meaning the wires going to the bulb would not be able to handle the current draw from a headlight bulb. Also with that, you deal with not having a proper reflector in the lense.... and potentially blinding someone with a REALLY bright backup light.

You might wanna look into the Luxeon LED's on superbrightleds.com
These are BRIGHT, I have them in my brake lights on my Cabby and are very noticeable even during the day in tails with no reflector. Looks like they now have a few different fittings for the Luxeon bulbs so you should be able to find something that works.
