Aux Rear Spotlights
I am sure a bunch of y'all are using auxillary rear lights for backing up, etc. Does anyone use this type...

...or are y’all using individually mounted lights?
The hitch system looks nice, but it also looks like it might get in the way of the safety chains. I just can’t tell from the photo.

Work Lights
I was checking those units out in the store the other day. It looks like you can access the holes for the safety chains but its a real bear to see what you are doing, especially when its dark!
When I first got my '99, i needed some lights in a hurry so I took a set of Bosch fog lights and hose-clamped them to the hidden-hitch. I mounted them as far outboard as I could get them and sat them up tight against the bottom of the bumper. That way I had plenty of room around the hitch pin and safety chains. I figured they will do "temporarily" until I get time to do it right. Well that was over 2 years ago and they are still hangin' in there. They still work and look great no matter how hard I try to knock them off.... Good luck.
