Lightbulb Secondary reverse lights, Pics

Not fully adjusted but it's already much easier to see at night with em...

I got em for like 30 bucks at auto zone till I find some nice ones I really like... They're just fog lights, except I swapped out the bulbs for 100 watt H3s and wired em on their own curcuit useing the stock reverse lights as a trigger on a relay so they come on when I put the truck in reverse! they work very nice and I can see pretty much everything behind me... Now I just gotta find some superduty mirrors to hack up and re-fab then I should really be able to see everything!

lemme know if ya wanna do it, I took pics throughout the install of which wires I tapped into and where I stored the relay in the kick panel... pretty easy took about an hour, and that's running wire through looms and soldering everything...

i would think there should be a lighting system that plugs in to your trailer hitch and illuminates.

yeah there was a few but I was goin for the stealth look and wanted to be able to hook up the trailers without having to unplug it and also have em on their own circuit so there wasn't too much draw on the thin guage factory wiring also didn't want the big plug hanging out of the trailer harness... white knight made a good lookin one if ya wanna google it

ya I added the reverse lights too a while back. Best thing to do, make the splices and grounds water tight and never have a problem.

first one is the lights on, obviously and the next one shows the shape and placement of the lights, the truck was hauling grass to the dump/compost area

Nice! yeah I love having these lights... I don't really have any splices outside of the cab just right where the wires hit the fogs and I used those rubber sleeved connections and taped em up tight...
