I would rather pay a little more now and not have to worry about sealing them.
This kit came with a tube of silicone dielectric compound to slather on the wires to avoid corrosion

Ok here's the night pics. Definately what I was looking for. Easy install. 1st pic is of lights mounted. 2nd is area with just stock reverse lights(there's a switch on the back of the unit, off, reverse and constant). 3rd is area with stock and the new white knight unit.

Looks Great, can you leave these on with your trailer hitch attached? Or have you tried.

Yes you can actually. Its a different model than mine. I Think its $10 more than this one. That model has a removable center cover(white knight emblem). I didn't get that one, as I rarely tow at all. Plus all id have to do is unplug it and undo the hitch pin, and its off

I saw these at the dealership and was instantly a little jealous. I think that part should work well if done right.
They are clearence marker lights like you see on duallys... not reverse.
The Raptor's extra width require them by law.... if I am not mistaken.
