Back-Up lights

HDboy · August 2, 2005

Ok, so i seem to be going half blind at night.. especially while backing up.. any suggestions for lighting up my rear

My last truck had a set of whiteknight or was it nighthorse.. i dunno... but they went over the trailer hitch and worked good but the first night plowing i backed into a pile and that was the end of them... any reccomendations?

Try the bed lamp, it can be of some help as long as there's nothing in its way in the bed.

I bolted a set of the low profile driving lights under my bumper and tapped into the trailer reverse lights at the harness. They work good, and to not hang down to low. I can take some pictures if you like... I actually ran wires up to my cab so I can disable them if I wanted to or turn them on with out the backup lights on (just use a SPDT switch).

If you are lookfing for some alot more durable and alot more expensive you can look into the rear bumper replacements that have additional lights built into them.

Here's mine - strapped to the hitch, but could also be screwed to the underside of the bumper near this location.

Any one have any sweet switch setups. I am looking for some to put in my overhead counsol in front of the map lights. I have seen all the normal rocker and toggle switches, but nothing that is really cool.

Pics and links would be helpfull.

Thanks
