OEM LED reverse lights are absolutely terrible...what have you guys done to address this?

You're dumb based on your current pic. The blue is your HOT or RED. The white is ground or your BLACK. You have them backwards! Get a DVM and check for voltage at your white and blue for around 13.5V or so to ensure you have power at those wires. You will have to have a friend in the truck to put it in REVERSE while testing voltage. Don't know if your RIGID are reverse polarity protected or not. You may have blown the lights by hooking them up backwards. Hard to say.
I had them hooked up the other way before and they didn't work, I switched them to this pic.
 
Installed 2 led pods with Curt 7pin adapter. Soldered, heat shrink, and wire loomed. Zip tied everything up high and tight. Waiting for dark to see how they work.

thats what i used (y) (y)!
!st I purchased was the "LPR Reverse Light System" license plate LED then ended up buying This to replace it.
Opt7 triple LED light bar fixed it for me. $89 + $25 plug and play wiring harness. If you sign up for the opt7 email list you get a 10% off discount code. There is a string of posts in this forum explaining how to install it.
 
I have two LED pod lights mounted under the Bumper and I am adding an
under Tailgate LED Bar with Reverse LEDs. I was surprised at how well the
Backup camera works with just the Stock Reverse Lights.
