Only difference I see between yours and mine is that you look like you used spots instead of floods, so you get more throw on yours. Looks good, though. I'm a big fan of them vs flush mounts in the bumper.

They are floods but not as far apart as yours I was using the existing wholes in my hitch. I might angle them a little to see if the it will be wider. I have led replacement bulbs coming for the housing too

Plus I was looking at the kind you have before I found these and these have double the lumens so that might be the difference in throw. I might angle them a little to see if the it will be wider.

Good, good. That's exactly what I did. I changed the lights to projector style throw LEDs and then added the aux lamps on their own circuit with a DPDT switch so they can be activated on their own or in conjunction with the reverse lights (or off entirely).
I think if you angle them slightly you'll get a wider flood pattern, like you said, which means you'll be able to see around the edges of your truck better too. That's a good idea on your part. Which bars did you end up using?
Just cheap set off ebay was 30 bucks for the pair. I don't go expensive on light bars cause there not replacing anything so if they go bad no big deal always get a few good years out of them. I ordered projector bulbs as well. I'm gonna get the OEM led 3rd brake light soon.
Add 2 8 inch led bars for reverse lights. Have led bulbs for the housings coming to match let me know what yall think
Can you post pictures of how you mounted yours to the hitch/bumper? I have the same bumper and am looking for ideas on a low profile mount. Yours looks nice.

I will get a pic tomorrow I used existing holes in the hitch. I superglued a washer to the nut and then slid it through the side with a wrench and tightened from the outside. Mounted the brackets and then the lights. The ones I got have a mounting bracket that is one center bolt put a link in the next post was only 33 bucks after shipping
