Bad thing about HIDs for reverse lights is that you will power the ballast and bulbs for a split second each time you shift from park to drive and vice versa, which is bad for the electronics and bulb and will shorten the life of the HID components.
But to answer your question, if you cant find a kit that uses that particular bulb size, all you have to do is use a Dremel or some sort of rotary tool and mod the mounting hole for the HID bulb. But you also have to make sure there is clearance, as HID bulbs are longer than the stock normal filament bulbs.

I will never do this mod, its kinda like a waste.
My LEDs are bright enough and cool looking in the reverses!

I thought the OP was talking about LEDs, since I haven't heard of HIDs anywhere but the headlights.

Really, people put HIDs in the tails? Seems... "excessive" (not that most of the stuff we do isn't, but...).
