Back up Lights (under bumper)

Hey fellas Ive been looking around for a decent set of back up lights which I want to mount under my bumper - with no luck. Every truck accessories shop Ive been to either has a very limited selection or has none at all. I would like the square type. Any suggestions on where to look online and or what brands?

Thanks

Have you tried some of the auto parts stores? Walmart normally has decent cheap lights. Or you could try some of the trucker stops.

I have a pic in my gallery that shows one of my backup lights, although not very well. They are Pilot brand halogen lights, very slim and came with 30 watt bulbs. One burned out and replaced it with a 60 watt from Kragen auto parts. They make a huge difference. Also our local Pep Boys has a pretty nice set of rectangular backup lights. They have a clear diffuser lens.

I bought a set of small rectangular driving lights on clearance from Summit Racing. They are so small that the hitch will bottom before the lights hit anything. 55 watt bulbs make it just as bright behind as it is in front. $10 for lights and relay, I did this a couple months ago so they may not have them in stock anymore.

The relay is wired into the trailer connector harness to keep from frying the backup light switch.

edit: As of today they still have them in stock. They are 2x3 inches and use an H3 55 watt bulb. I can't make a link work, but you can find them in the clearance section.
