I went with the "no-show" look, and did not cut my factory reverse light harness, i just made them run off a rocker switch in the cab.
I do a lot of camping and it is nice to have some extra lights if back in the field or anywhere, and the truck doesn't have to be in reverse to do so.

Also my power wire is not seen under the hood, I did not want it connected to the

looks good man that's how I plan on mounting mine! so you don't have it hooked to the battery? if not what is it hooked to for power? how did you hook both of them to the rocker switch then to power and where did you ground it at?
