Hmmm maybe a good reason to go to LED lights. They're brighter too so that you can see what you're about to reverse into.

The good old "braille parking!" It's amazing how much damage you can do with just a light bump.
We live in a small country town and the locals all know not to park behind a certain ute as the owner braille parks. A recent long weekend saw a flash tourist SUV bleeding copious amounts green and red fluids after he reversed back before pulling out of a parking spot.
Amazing how much damage a towbar and ball can do to some modern vehicles.
