Those of you who are installing the aux lights under the bumper must never go off road. Every one of those setups would immediately get ripped off under any type of real off road situation. IF I was going to do it, the new ones would be mounted into the bumper.

While I don't think I'll ever take my "Platinum" off-roading... I was concerned about dangling wires. I thought "in-the-bumper was a cleaner look....more OEM sort of. I've had a number of questions by on-lookers as to what option package they were part of.

I mounted mine to the rear spring mount. This puts them up high enough that they are not visible without leaning down a bit yet they are low enough to make a good backup light pattern. There are already holes in the spring mounts so no drilling necessary.

For those that have the LED lighting package stock on their 2015 truck, is anyone tapping into the stock wiring harness reverse lights to also power the accessory backup lights? If so, are you using the left or right light and what is the color of the wire you are tapping. I'm unable to locate a wiring schematic doing a Google search and when I test the rear light harness connector I'm getting several hot connections.

I saw a large improvement in lighting quality by just swapping out the stock bulbs for projector leds

The drivers side has tint over the reverse lens
