Btw, nice philmont parking sticker haha. I forget you were in scouts
The lights suck on the cage, I need to put some duallys on, but the one up top is fantastic for backup and backing up a trailer is amazing.

Yeah philmont ftw!

No but it's sitting in the driveway.... Just took one but it won't upload. I'll try again in a bit. I used to have them at the back of the cab, in the box, right under the window. Didn't really work there.

theyre bright but the light disperses way to quickly so they dont go very far, which is why i only use the for hooking up trailers at night..

I am looking to buy lights for this soon. I've tried putting LED's in my reverse lights which helped some. Then I put LED's in my cargo light and wired them to my reverse lights and it didn't help much at all. But I've been wondering where people have mounted their lights in the back for a while.

Theres a ton of places to mount lights, underside of the bumper would probably be your best bet.





could mount in some flushmount trailer lights

I like the flush mount on the hitch. I saw LMC selling some LED ones.
