Reverse lighting?

Back in february I traded my 2006 f150 to a 2010 screw. I'm fairly happy with most things but the lighting. Headlights do not put out the same amount of light as the older models and the high beams suck. But my question is about the reverse lights. I'm sure I'm not the only one that can't see to back up at night. Has anyone added auxiliary lights to the rear of their trucks so they can see?

I would love to do this as well. It would be great if there were some kind of plug and play lighting system

I agree.. I was backing up last night in the rain and couldn't see anything.

These came from AutoZone for $25. Wire directly into the 7-pin harness for trailer (I wired over the spare tire just to keep the wires up and out of the way).

They need to make some HID LED strips that go between the tailgate and bumper. I don't want to see anything extra out back. Keep the junk in the trunk.
