Looking for recommendations for reverse lights.

Some of my criteria:

1. Clean and discreet looking
2. Square or round?
3. Durability...no rusty mounts or fogged over lenses
4. Bright...lol

Any advice would be much appreciated along with any install tips.

TIA

 

I'm running lots of aftermarket lights on my Jeep. My preference is cheap. No crying when they get hit or burn out. I'm out $3. I have some for the Dodge. With a young child I just don't have time to install. Make sure everything is fused and relayed.

 

I went to the local Meijers and found these. has a bracket to fit around square stock from most hitches, just got lucky that it fits nicely on the factory hitches. Helps a whole lot at night.

 

my white night system from genos works great, takes about 20 minutes to put in, look professional, and cost about $80.

 

I picked these up on sale at Harbor Freight for ~$9, and they seem to go on sale every couple of months. I've since also mounted some as reverse lights on my flatbed trailer, too...



Wired up like this...

 

I've had these on for four years, they look and work great! I have four friends that saw mine and ordered them too.

 

What's involved with drilling out the bumper?

 

I measured out where the cutouts needed to go, and then used a holesaw at each corner to get a nice radius. Then I simply "connected the dots" with a jigsaw, and ended up with two very nice radius-cornered rectangular cutouts

I like those lights! If I do reverse lights like that though, I'll need to "armor" mine. I keep backing into stuff (like the parking deck at work!).

They just didn't build this area big enough for full size trucks!

 

Nice job Lance! That looks cool.

I'd be scared taking sharp instruments to my new truck though, I just don't trust myself enough!
