I have the flood light version of these (like what others posted above):

Amazon.com: 2x 18w LED Spot Work Light: Automotive Amazon.com: 2x 18w LED Spot Work Light: Automotive

The spot light ones are $20 for the pair. The flood light pattern are slightly more.

They work great! I've had them for a few months with no issues. Mine come on only with the reverse lights. Eventually I'd like to put them on a switch, so I can turn them on whenever I need light out back.

This is how they look on an overcast day. They project pretty far behind at night. I'll have to take another pic tonight.Name:  IMG_20141216_131109375_HDR_zpse04fa03d.jpg

Here's a better picture of them on the truck and a night shot. I have the spot version.

The snow bank is about 40' behind the truck

Flood version at night. The shed is about 35-40ft away. These were taken with my cell phone in the dark in the rain, so it wouldn't focus on the lights very well.

I really like these lights and hope they last a long time. I'm thinking about getting another set for the front of my tractor when the snowblower is mounted, since the standard lights are terrible.

It must be Siesta Key beach. They're known for their sugar sand, the purest silica sand around.
