Photos - Aux Backup Lights for SCrew
Finally got the photo thing worked out.
Here's some photos of the Aux Backup lights I installed on my SCrew. Got the set of projector fog lights complete with relay kit at Target. Cost $25. Used galvanized right angle brackets for the hardware store (2" x 5"). Used stainless steel fastners/locknuts. Wired into trailer towing wiring harness. Coil on relay to backup light, power from Power lead in harness. Relay came in a nice little water-resistant box. There is a vertical support coming off the bed (you can see in the pictures). Drilled two holes in each to mount. Lights don't hang any lower than the plug for the towing package. Sits back farther. I also used some flashing on the backside to keep the stuff kicked up from the tires from hitting the back of the lights.
Works like daylight in reverse. I can finally see what's behind me in the dark.
View of both lights from rear.
View of one light a little closer.
View of the light/bracket/mount/deflector.
Another view of the bracket. Can see the wiring harness up near the bed.
View from the side.
Sorry, I had to include this one. Just got washed.....

Strongwind, nice mod and pics!
n6van, kyforfreak,
You can add pictures fairly easily. Just have a link to your picture and then do this
*[img]your link[/img]* without the *
It should come out like this with your pic:
I keep my pictures at www.photopoint.com for a small annual fee. There are a few other sites that are still free.

6nvan,kyfordfreak,
Like Chuck_tx said, you just add the [img]yourlink[/img] to your post. You have to upload your photos to a site like Photopoint or I found Zing.com (no fee). Once uploaded, you can link the photos to the site. F150 has a "test" forum where you can practice without pissing off everyone....
Check out the 'attempts' on the test forum and it's pretty easy to figure out. Good Luck!
