Hey all,

I just wanted to show off my new auxiliary reverse lights. $20 on Amazon. P.O. had already had some there, brackets were still on the bumper and the wires were hanging under the truck from the factory reverse lamps!

those are gonna get broke in no time flat.
think about cutting a hole in the bumper, and getting them out of the way.
I need to pick up a set for the bumper I just installed on my SD

Not sure why they'd get broken as long as I don't hit them with anything?

The housing is pretty decent looking aluminum, they're not flimsy little plastic ones.

Ah. Gotcha. I don't haul a whole lot in the bed, she's primary a daily driver. She'll get a motor, axle, maybe some firewood in the bed but not a whole lot. I'm hoping I can be gentle with them!

If you need to move them, put them on the headache rack. Then you can see in the bed also.

Yeah that's an idea but I'm thinking they'll work better for backup lights on the back there. I'm hoping to eventually put a set on the rack too.

So I do have a light on the garage, they aren't "quite" as bright as they look.

That last picture is sitting in the driver's seat looking in the side mirror. HUGE improvement. Very glad I did it. Might actually be able to hit my parking spot at work now!

Likely not a big pattern since they are so close to the ground.
Do you have a northern tool local?

Not that I know of. I can't complain for $20 though!
