I know this has been done and I added it to one of the How-To's, but just wanted to offer something.

I did this install on an OBS 02 SuperCrew. I did it the "simple" way I guess. Mounted them and wired them to an independent switch so I control their use at all times. Didn't want them automatically coming on every time I back up.

Followed the suggestions though. Bought a set of "Burners" Fog lights from Wal-Mart (rectangle shape and only a couple inches big). Loomed all my wiring and followed the existing wires from the back to the front of the truck. That was a task since on my drivers side, the electrical is run on the inside of the frame for the majority of the run. That was fun.

Here are some pics though:

The switch. Was very pleased to be able to place it here. Very happy:

The light output:



Let me know what you think or if you have any questions. Thanks.

 

Looks great I have the same style setup on my truck. Very very useful with my truck since it is lifted with smoked tails.

 

Thanks. I still am just a stock FX4 but even backing out of my driveway, which has some incline, there are times I can't see whats behind me.

 

i have the same thing, except they are wired into the 7pin trailer harness so they come on in reverse. idk how i ever backed out of or into the drive way at night without them

 

Looks good. I just saw those lights at Walmart a couple hours ago. I'm surprised at how much they actually light up for being cheapies. What did you mount them to?

 

Yeah I was very impressed. I took some day pictures today and I'll load them when I get home tonight so you can see the exact lights. One of them already has some condensation in it so I need to dry it out and use some silicone on it. But they came with the switch, the fused power wire, everything. I obviously purchased some additional primary wire to make my runs, since theirs weren't long enough for my applications.

I actually just used 2 self-tapping screws on each light and mounted them directly to the underside of the metal bumper. I flushed the backside of the bracket with the back lip of the bumper. I'll take some pictures of that when I get home. Forgot to take that one.

 

What did you expect for $20. I think I might put mine on the bottom of the crossmember of my trailer hitch.

 

Here are mine. V-LEDS reverse lights and the LED license plate frame gizmo. Lots of light!

 

DarkShadow, Yeah I can't believe I forgot to seal them before I put them on. I took the time to seal my brand new headlights and didn't think about the cheapo lights. Oh well.

Squiffo, Wow, thats quite a bit of light! And thats a sweet looking boat!

 

Thanks. I had the White Night lights initially but it was a pain when having to switch out hitches, bike carriers etc. The V-LEDS are awesome.

Boat model is a Flying Tiger 10M. The graphics are a decal wrap and the boat is a MILF magnet! I added the Rite Ride Air Bags and it tows great with the bags at 40#.

did the same thing here and mounted them to the hitch...works great don't how I ever backed up before either.

 

Squiffo, yeah the boat talk is a bit over my head but it does look sweet. And being happily married I'm in no need of a MILF magnet, but whatever floats your boat (pun intended)

Jdlowes, What did you use to mount yours to the hitch?

 

Here's a daytime pic of where I mounted them:

 

I'm happily married to but the MILF's kids like the boat and the MILF's like my crew apparently!



Now back to your regular programming - Auxillary Back Up Lights!
