I know most guys add a another additional set of lights (which is on the future list [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) but are there any aftermarket bulbs that are better then the stockers? LED's? Thanks.
Several years ago I purchased some back up light bulbs that were supposed to be 50 watt bulbs, but I could not tell the difference. I now have a set of Hella driving lights under the bumper and they do a wonderful job.

I just put in a set of the White Knight backup lights and really pleased with the difference. They are angled out and illuminate 2-4 ft outside the line of the truck. Never can have enough light when backing up. I bought mine from the guys at GOS Performance. They know their stuff and always provide prompt service.

I just mounted a pair of the really cheap white tractor lights on my bumper, works good and I think I'm in about a whole 20 bucks on the deal.

i've got the same setup...although I just lost my second lamp on the driver side...not sure why. The first one was cracked (the sealed lamp) so water got into it. Can telll why this second one went out. I've got another lamp to put in it so we'll see how it goes. They other one is still original. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
I have everything sitting here its just not on, Ill take a stab at it... You have a wire coming from the stock reverse lights, a wire from a 12v source, and they both go to a three way stitch. The other wire coming from the switch goes to a relay that also needs hooked up, you have a ground, constant 12v, and your switched wire and the wire that goes to the lights. That should be it! Well hope that is what you are looking for, Jordan
I hooked mine up to the big 7-wire connector under the truck.....work like a charm! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I wondered about that, its for trailers that have reverse lights, so why not? if it will power those lights then it should power bumper lights. The only problem i see is if you hook to a trailer with them you may over load it? Maybe not depends on the set up i guess
