Aux. rear lights

I havent seen too many guys on the site with auxilary rear lights but in my neck of the woods we use things like this all the time. I have a round set between the body and bumper on a crossmember on my mud toy bronco. Well i was in Autozone the other day and picked these up for $20 so i went ahead and put them on my f150. What ya think? I layed some deccent spot welds to hold the brackets to the tubing for the trailer hitch, couldn't find a spot where they looked ok that I could just bolt em.

anyway...








I also did some in the tool box to help with seeing in there at night and stuff, they will pivot and swivel and i can point them straight down into the box or way out behind or beside the truck.

really pretty cool...

pics in next post

Lights

Yep, they are great. I have a very similar set. I used stainless steel band clamps to hold mine on (two on each). I put a 7 pin trailer plug on the wires and just plugged them in. I can unplug and hide it up behind the bumper when I pull a trailer. I figure for the price, if I break one, I'll just replace it. Haven't broken one yet though in a year. I may rust one out by next summer though. Oh, well, not that expensive.

Lights look real good (and usefull). How do you turn them on? Did you install an auxillary switch?

i have always seen people mounting them between rear bumper and tailgate and not relocated the bumper with body lifts. and use diamond plate to mount them on. looks really good. have not seen an f150 with this set up yet tho. always seen it on chevy's
