I use night lights w/photo cells. That way I'm not running into walls half conscience going for that midnight snack.

Works for me anyway.

I've got a 6" led bar between the hitch and bumper. I too thought about wiring straight to reverse but wanted to be able to use whenever. So I wired up the light to its own switch as well.

I hear ya bear... I swear the night is getting darker.

I hear yuh, some levels of pain you can live with while others drive you nuts lol. I'm not sure about the numbness, haven't experienced that one yet...well besides the dentist anyway. Must be strange. I'd probably have to check it every now again, -make sure one of those possessed poodles weren't bull doggin on the numb parts, or feeling territorial.

All that, it's a great trade and sounds like it's going well, good to hear!

Wow, I never seen that before. First thought would be seizure, second, someone swapped the O2 bottle, third, bag of apples, -practicing up for the fair (yup, honestly thought that). Until I heard the jam anyway, then yea, -deranged dark side.
