Default Adding additional backup/reverse lights

I'm looking to add additional backup / reverse lights to my 2025 F150. I'm planning on wiring to have them come on when in reverse, but would also like to have a switch to put them on manually. Does anyone have photos of where they mounted lights? And if you have a switch for the lights where did you mount the switch? thanks.

How much light are you wanting to add? For what purposes?

I don't have a manual switch, but these are good lights and simple.

I've got the VLEDS version of that Morimoto license plate light. The LPX that has red running lights, brake light, and 2000 lumen reverse light.

I have a light bar I wedge under the bumper, but above the hitch so it is somewhat hidden but still produces plenty of light for reversing. Mine's not mounted to a switch, just to the reverse light so it only comes on when in reverse. Here is a video a made several years ago for another member.

Any info on what you used (model, lumens, etc?)?

I believe it is this one:

Or at least the same one rebranded. I got it several years ago off amazon so i cant remember exactly... but its been working fine so far and is bright enough for reversing.

Yes we have that as an option. We sell the lights, harness and brackets. Shoot me a message so we can go over options but basically you want the following

Baja Designs S2 Lights: https://www.4x4truckleds.com/led-aux.../baja-designs/
Our Bumper Brackets: https://www.4x4truckleds.com/kr-off-...ight-brackets/
Our Reverse Harness: https://www.4x4truckleds.com/crystal...itter-control/
Baja Designs Upfitter Harness (this actually will splice onto the reverse circuit at the tail light): https://www.4x4truckleds.com/baja-de...n-pro-sport-s2

This kit will have your lights come on automatically in reverse AND you can also wire it up to a switch system (we give you a wire that goes all the way to the engine bay so you can connect it to an aftermarket switch panel OR install a switch yourself)
