thanks to STL515273 for the idea. i used the same harbor freight lights he did and put some backup lights on my f150, and my dads 06 f150 also. heres some pics of mine. for power i used the backup lamp circuit for my camper plug. its a 20 amp fuse and these lights only pull 4-5 amps per light, so it should be plenty. ill get some lighted up pics tonight. enjoy/comment/discuss.

 

Love the idea. hate the look.

 

yea the looks not for everyone. on my dads we made some brackets and mounted them to the rear hanger of the leaf springs. kinda out of sight. BUT we are already looking at some better lights because these are kinda flimsy.

 

I have some sitting in my closet for the back of my truck, but haven't got around to putting them on yet. They will get mounted between the two tubes on my rear bumper so they don't hang down.

 

yea that sounds like a good idea, keep em safe while wheelin.

 

For sure. I already dented up my old exhaust tips from wheelin when they were hanging where your lights are.

 

Looks good.

Did your hitch give you trouble? Or were you able to use the bolts that came with them

 

nope no trouble, the bolts that came with them were long enough. can't wait till dark to try em out

 

looks ok

 

What does the sticker on the left side of the bumper say?

Oh

 

i like the idea, but i'd end up ripping those off on a local trail where i always drag my back bumper, and hitch

 

yea, location might change later. i just went outside and checked em out. they are frikkin bright. gonna be awesome at the camp, where i can never see behind me.

 

...or when you have a Honda tailgating you.

 

Could you just splice those into your reverse lights without using any relays or anything special?

 

id rather get somethign like these. easier to blend in.

 

You have a link for those?

 

i wouldnt think so. i used my camper plug reverse circuit, as nothing else was using it. normal reverse lights, i'd use a relay

 

X2 who makes these or do you have an item number for them on Ebay? I keep looking but able to find something.

Gracias!

 

i guarantee those leds wont light up nearly as much as regular halogen bulbs.

 

I got a extra set from Harbor Freight 10 bucks plus shipping they are yours

 

them led lights you can buy them at advance auto parts for 20$ it comes with a wiring harness and everything
