Rigid Industries Dually flush mount flood pattern. Custom powdercoated to match up to the chrome bumper. Stand alone wiring, switch them on when I want them.

Yes, Recon smoke tails and third. Quality is great, worth the upgrade.

How did you guys tap into the power? Did you just t-tap or actually solder it?

I think most of the led pods are like 6k. Is a standard color.

They light up when I turn them on since this eBay switches only have 3 prongs on the back, there's some with 4 and one of those is for a constant light on, like the bottom where the letters are, then when you turn it on the truck turns on

Finally got around to getting a set of LED back up lights. We live in the country with absolutely no driveway, yard, or street lighting. Between the dogs, cats, kids, their toys, and a 20' trailer I figured it might be a worth while investment. Heck the wife has more aux lighting on her Disco than most people on this forum have on their trucks - so I thought it was only fair that I got something to help out in the mornings when the coffee had not kicked in.

 

O'Reilly's in my area has started carrying Anzo LED's and the price wasn't completely outrageous so I picked up a pair of their 3X3 cubes. I've seen plenty of examples where folks have mounted reverse lights up under the bumper and thought it looked good. However, the way my luck runs I'd hit a piece of road FOD and kick it into the back of one of the LED's. I didn't really want to get into a lot of cutting and drilling so that nixed doing a flush mount bumper install which led me to the bumper foot wells. Like everyone else I quickly realized pulling the foot wells to drill mounting holes is a nightmare. However, after a hour of the gears in brain grinding and getting frustrated I finally realized that you can use the foot well mount screws to also mount the brackets for the LED cubes:

 

While it's not perfect the location is protected, they look reasonably decent in that location and there was no major modifications necessary. The only holes drilled were on the inner wall of the foot wells to pass the wiring through to the underside of the bumper. Even better the foot wells still retain their functionality.

I may be wrong, but I have not seen anyone else on the forum use the foot well mounting screws. Hopefully this might help those folks that want reverse lights in the bumper foot wells accomplish their goal without having to go through a partial bumper disassembly.

One thing I did do was add both a chrome fender washer and lock washer behind the head of the mounting screw. I don't trust those body screws/clips not to back out and the fender washer helps to make sure that the screw head sits level on the light bracket. Still have to connect the LED's to a power supply and put some grommets in the pass through holes, but we're on our way.

That's a great idea, thanks.

Super awesome write up, and this definitely made my life way easier! Can someone pm me the best way to run a switch for these so I can turn them on when people dive with their brights on?

 

Thanks again man!

So I have a question about wiring up my reverse light pods along with a front light bar behind the grill. My plans are to order a three position round rocker switch to run both lights. Up would be for light bar only on, center off and have bottom for the reverse light pods only. I don't want to have the reverse lights tied into my tail lights only on the switch. Just making sure this is possible and if anybody had a wiring diagram for what I need?

I think this is possible with the switch you mention. You would just connect the power going out from the switch to each light, the top terminal to the bar and the bottom terminals on the switch for th one of the reverse.
