Morning guys, looking to add some additional lighting to back of pickup for backing up. Ideally flush mount in bumper. I have looked around and can't find what in think I need.

Does anyone have instructions on how best to wire in. Not looking anything complicated, just they come in when I go into reverse.

Also, what lights you guys like that can be flush mounted

2018 screw lariat. Backup camera tow package etc.

Thanks

 

I used these goes between bumper and on top of trailer hitch frame. fits perfect and a lot of light. you will like thyem.
I used the reverse brake light wire for trailer lights.

 

Had not considered a bar.

Do you have any photo if how it looks. How did you wire it in?

 

The Green/brown wire in the trailer plug harness should be the reverse light feed.

 

So it's as easy as just splice it onto that wire and ground it? Will that interfere with trailer lights operating?

 

It shouldn't. . I used that spot for my rear camera feed. Just tap into the wire at an easy to get spot in the harness.

Here is the rest of the wiring codes
BROWN. TAILLIGHTS
YELLOW LEFT TURN
GREEN. RIGHT TURN
BLUE. TRAILER ELECTRIC BRAKES
ORANGE 12 POWER WIRE. (KEY ON)
WHITE GROUND

 

Have you upgraded your backup light bulbs yet, before adding more lights?

 

No, i was just reading about that this morning on here. I am thinking i need to do both?

 

LED backup bulbs will help a lot. And present no problems as turn signal bulbs sometimes do.

 

Yes, upgrade to LED reverse lights will enhance much vision for reversing and much easier and safer for backup. Below are the bulb size guide for Ford F-150 back up reverse lights bulbs. It is recommended to check your OEM bulb's part number to double confirm before purchasing, for owner manual maybe incorrect.
