Default Reverse Light Mounting Options

Where are you guys mounting your LED reverse lights? Below are the ones I had on my 2011 F150 and I was able to use the existing bumper mount bolt for mounting the lights. After a quick glance last night, I didn't see any existing bolts on the 2015 that I could use. So I am guessing you guys are drilling into the bumper or into the towing package?

Can you guys post pictures of how you mounted yours? Here's the lights that I bought.

Several people have flush-mounted Rigid lights into the bumper. They seem to work nicely, and look great.

I threw these little suckers in--they're not flush, but they only stick out about 3/8" and throw light pretty damn good for the money.

This is what I am working on for mine. LED light mounted to a piece of aluminum angle that is attached to the trailer hitch.

Went with rigid flush mounts as anything I've done that hangs below the bumper always gets screwed up/damaged/destroyed.

What size angle did you use for that. I like how you've mounted those to the back of the towing package vs drilling them into the bumper. I may go this route.

I had to make my own brackets out of 1/2x1/2" aluminum angle but I really,like them out here. They're tucked far enoug that they don't scream LIGHT but they still cast light a long way.
