What do you connect to, the trailer hitch adapter?

 

Wired to the 7 pin trailer connector


There’s two bolts under each side of the bumper - simply unbolt, attach the lights and bolt back up


I’ll shoot some pics at lunch

 

Thanks in advance for the pics, pretty straight forward wiring I assume? I just put LED reverse lights, but they really do not do anything. I can't see a darn thing backing up at night.


This is the one you have?

Kawell K5-5118 8W 6.2-Inch. DC 9-32V 6500K 1170LM 90 Degree Waterproof LED for ATV, Jeep, Boat, Suv, Truck, Car, Atvs, Flood Light Bar - Black

 

i did the same started with led bulbs which helped a little then ordered the same ones you linked - much much better



and yup wired them right up to the rear of the 7 pin connector and sealed everything back up - they work great


ii did read some reviews that stated they got water in them so just in case i sealed the lights up with rtv - no water issues at all

 

I wish I could find the LED reverse lights I replaced the worthless stock bulbs with. They helped quite a bit but still not enough with tinted windows.

I posted these pictures in the LED Cube Light thread a few days back, but below are pictures from before and after I installed my flush cube lights in the rear bumper.

FYI the first picture the truck is in reverse and while you can see my ladder, the car parked across the street is hardly visible. From in the cab, I could only see my ladder and a little snow near the edge of the driveway.

 

I did the F-150 leds on mine. Overpriced for sure but I did it thinking they would come with a good harness. My gripe with this company is they do everything with cheesy crimp on connectors. I soldered and heat shrunk all my connections instead.

 

wish i used clear rtv but you really cant see it

 

Did you use quick connect wires or splice and tape?

 

If you are going to do below the bumper LEDs, these ones look the best IMO and also look like the least likely to be damaged due to dragging in the snow or off the pavement.


Very nice job Stevebass

 

Actually i used waterproof two pin connectors at each light just in case i need to change the lights and then I soldered the power and ground to the 7 pin trailer plug and then rewrapped the back of the trailer plug


you could use positaps or quick connectors but i like to solder
