Rigid flush mounts. Learn from my and others mistakes, you get what you pay for. Skip the cheap LED's and replacement bulbs (their location sucks) and get some Rigids.

I know! I went to look for other stuff and these popped up and got great reviews from people using them on boats and quads so I figured for the coin why not take a chance!

So far so good! I have no complaints and made my own harness. Soldered and heat shrunk everything and it's been good but time will tell, I still my pony up for rigid back ups. I love all my rigids I have now but just to have light in reverse I wasn't going to drop hundreds.

Eh, it's a couple small holes in a metal braket, clean it up and paint them and you're good to go!

I love people's reaction when I go into reverse, you can't see anything hanging down but it lights up the whole back of the truck! Lol

Oh c'mon, it was only like a hundo and a half. Not hundredS

All kidding aside, the Rigids are overkill, but worth every last dime. To each their own though.

Ahhhh see, this is the beauty of the switch.
Sitting at a stop light minding my own business, small ricer pulls up behind me and so close that I cannot see his roof, much less anything else on his purdy little ride. I love to flick the light from Auto to ON in this situation. If only I could see their face when those 1500 lumens come on.

I've seen people mount small light bars just below the license plate, i think the 6" ones.

Oh I know but I just dropped coin for two sets of duellys, one in flood and one in spot, And Bilinvic retro heads! It was going to be just a smidge hard to convince the wife I NEEDED to buy another $160 set just to see better in reverse.

Lol, mines 4 years old but still feels new but it is a little easier to drill in it.

I'm sure I'll get bored of these and do flush mounts like bucket did as that's what I originally wanted.
