I've tried a few variations on the existing lights.........but I keep coming back to this image.
BETTER or WORSE?
Has anyone come up with a nice aftermarket part for the backup/reflector lights yet?

I don't like the OEM pieces or your first suggestion. Keep working on it and get back to us.
As for the OEM bits, I don't follow my car nor do I see and follow any other Sol so it really doesn't matter to me.

I would like to see someone bring them out flush and have a lense that follows the wrap of the body. They are nothing but little dust pockets on my Pure.
LOL.....nope.....just a pic from the forum that I used.
My gxp won't be here for months, and months, and months.

I have considered just replacing them with round driving lights so the entire thing would be clear/white.

Bzzzzz. Wrong answer.
Do you want to risk that some DPS dude is on his/her game and knows that you are driving around without the required reflective surface on your car? That red crap needs to be somewhere on the tail of the car. Remove it from the back up light but add it somewhere else.
