On my truck I prefer my lights shining OUTWARDS to the sides more and down since I have really bright reverse lights in my stock housings, the extra reverse lights are not needed up close, so I like them shining to the sides
True but this is for reverse lighting. If we were looking for auxiliary lighting for the rear then flush mounts might not be the best but as mentioned, I put them further outboard so with the wide swath of flood lighting it shines off to the sides enough to clearly see using my mirrors.

DAMN ak_cowboy .. that's one hell of light bar to have back there ... I thought about something like that but wasn't sure how to do it and I couldn't imagine flipping that thing on the back up I decided to go with two 7 inch spot light bars with a switch.

.. slightly off the topic but who lives out in the Vancouver Washington area close to the Oregon border

I just did this on my 2005 to try to help with my backup cam. Cheap Hilight from Amazon... light output is good, but it washes out my cam...any suggestions on how to fix?
