I just picked up a similar set and will install them in the next day or two. Can't wait for that added light! I was backing out of my long driveway this morning and couldn't see a thing.

That's why I got them. My yard is completely dark at night and I couldn't see a thing behind my truck with the useless OEM lights.

There's a little u-shaped bracket that screws onto the back of the light and can rotate up or down. I bolted it to an existing bumper mounting hole, reusing the existing bolt too.

I recently got up the courage and cut into the rear bumpers and added the rigid flush LED lights in them. I will post pics when I install them. I have sent the bumpers out to be linex'd should have them back tomorrow. I was gonna mount them with under the bumpers but with the roush style exhaust I can't have 2 lights and with the tow hooks in the back I can't put them near the hitch area, so cutting into the bumpers was the only option I had, looks really clean IMO

Going off of Mike FX4's pic of the lights. Here are pics at night from inside the cab.
Here are a couple of pics of those reverse lights. First is inside of rear view mirror with tinted windows up.
Second is thru tinted pass window (up) at the side mirror. I am now able to see my trailer when I have to back next to it at night, so my wife can get the Expy out of the garage.
