Rear Lighting Help
ok so ive been thinking about this and i think going to buy 2 driving style lamps, just a 4 inch size pair.
and im wanting to mount them on the corners of the rear of the bed, so there fore they will aid in backing up, and be nice for offroading.
but is it possible to mount there? because you cant put your hand directly under nearth the bed sides.....theres a metal wall there.
how should i go about doing this? also how should i wire it? should i wire it to my backup lights and also have a auxilary switch to turn them on on demand?

I don't know about mounting them or how to wire them, but I'd defiantly put them on an aux switch.
You could just flip them on if you needed some extra light, or if someone happens to be on your azz your hand might accidentally switch them on

I mounted some driving lights on my back hitch. They are low profile and fit really nice. I have them wired on a switch. Works great when I am backing up late at night.

While your at it, why not add a big 'ol searchlight on the cab roof, steerable from within?
Can't wait to see pics.

Why not just do this. Gives you plenty of light and keeps your truck from looking ugly.
