How do you have them wired up to prevent power coming from both sources at the same time?
I'm not who you asked there, but I did a similar thing. I wired my reverse LED pods to both 12v power and the reverse light circuit. I used an on-off-on switch, one side always on power from the trailer 7 pin connector, other side reverse light power again from the 7 pin. The switch output goes to a relay powered by the trailer 7 pin hot, so I can flip the lights on manually from the switch, or flip the switch the other way and they turn on in reverse. Middle switch is off. I did it this way to not feed power back to the reverse circuit when I want the pods on manually.

Added some led pods from Canadian Tire for $20 on sale. I have oem bed lights but they aren't that efficient and my swing case blocks one. These are really handy at night as my tonneau cover is always on.

I posted this before but still a good mount for me. 2 years plus and now problems with anything breaking !
I cut the gear part off at the bottom of the goose neck
and filled the hole with 2 part epoxy putty and stuck a wall anchor in the putty for a better screw connection !
The flat plastic go off E bay , may be able to get at Lowes , I had extra goose necks so 0$ for me ,
But you might spend $10,00/$15.00 if you have to buy parts
Mounted in the dash pocket and used existing holes to mount, I did need a couple longer screws to mount which I had !

My '17 2500 had this on it when I bought it. However, it needed a new hold down strap which Traxion provided at no charge when I explained the situation. I was willing to buy the strap, but they shipped me one at no charge. But it was pretty rickety until I put a few welds on the extension area. I didn't have any problem welding it since it won't be used on another truck. Overall....9 out of 10 once modded...customer service 10 out of 10


Future mod, just 'cause.

I recently bought off amazon a 3 60" led strip bed light kit. It was like $35. It lights up like the sun under my tonneau. Might be my favorite mod so far!

Morimoto Boost Bar License Plate light. It is attached to your plate and you connect it to a reverse light. 54 Cree leds, 4500K, 2700Lumens. Will "light up" my 60ft. driveway. So now I can see backing up in the dark, and anyone can see me doing it!!!
Part number R110925, got mine from American Trucks, who else has it ???? $75

Okay, already posted this somewhere else but it IS a mod and i
I can’t take credit for this, a fellow member did this back in 2018 and I happened on his post. It is very helpful and well presented if anyone interested.
They come in black too.
Could you post a link, so I can order correct size? Thanks.
