There is a "three" position switch mounted on the dashboard. The lights can be on without the truck being turn on (great for loading my band equipment), turned completely off or on only in reverse. I typically just leave it in that position. They are brighter than I was told by the installer that he went through several cutting blades while going through the bumper. It was all taped off, the edges were primed and painted before the lights were installed. I believe the wiriging runs up along the frame. I don't have any wires attached to the trailer hitch wiring as that seems to give the F-150 fits thinking there is a a trailer actually attached. The lights look factory - which is how I wanted them to look.
Awesome, thanks. For nearly $250 I would hope they last longer than the $20-$40 ones I've used in the past! I like the 3 way switch idea too. Being able to turn these various lights on and off as needed when I don't have any house lights or street lights nearby is very useful.
Here is a picture from the back while the truck is in reverse. Is the light on the tailgate supposed to turn on? When I open a door it comes on and I can see much better. Can anyone check theirs?
Here is what my nighttime rear view looks like. I can barely see the driveway.
It plugs into your 7 point plug, and you're ready to go. Not bad for 20 bucks. Had one in my 09/12/15 F150s Here is a pic.
Plug and play.
Thanks! I'd forgotten about those. I'd thought about one for my last truck, but with the 7-pin below the bumper I didn't want to tear it off and lose it. Now that it's in the bumper it's a different story.
