Better than Rigid for reverse lights?
What are your guy's thoughts on this product? Seems to be a far easier/cleaner option to the Rigid Dually lights for reverse application. I think I want one. 3500 Lumens for 150 bucks?!!?

I had the old $25 Vled license plate light. Very bright, but didn't last. Plastic cover fell off like the 2nd day. In my driveway...so I zip-tied it back on. After a couple of months, the clear plastic lens faded and looked crappy. I eventually took it off and tossed it. Got less than a year out of it.
Btw - If you have a back-up camera, the license plate light will overload the camera at night. The center of the picture will just be a pure white fuzzy spot.
I switched to in-the-bumper Rigids. Very happy with them. They also wash out the camera at night. I built a custom mount that angles them up just a bit. This moved the white spot in the camera further down the road and makes it less obnoxious.

Just put some Duallys or 'Cubes' and call it a day. I had the older version of the VLED license plate and it only worked for 30 days.
Just mount them on the leaf spring shackles. The only way you can see them is if you were crawling on the ground. I was the same way and didn't want anything to be seen hanging down.

I've had their original LPF for over a year now. The plastic cover did come off. I put 3M double-sided tape on it and it's been good ever since. Makes backing up much better, especially with tinted windows.
