This is exactly what I have been looking for to cover the blind spot in the backup camera at night. Mine leaves a triangle shaped shadow right where I need it at the hitch area. I will order when I get time. May only need one set though, don't need quite that much extra light.

Looks good! Now think about this, instead of running them off the trailer reverse light wire, run them off a powered relay and set it up to be activated by the trailer wire or a switch mounted in your bed (or spot of your choice). If you go camping or ever need to work around you truck a night just flip the switch and you have work lights too. Those LED can burn a long time without the truck on.

Camping?

:hidesbehindsofa:

I'm a city slicker that likes a truck. LOL

This is my toy, the bed is 95% of the time empty.......4.99% of the time hauling headlights and .01% of the time thinking its an actual truck. :893MrT-thumb:

these come with 2 - the harness is set for them, but you can leave one off, just not plug it in :893karatesmiley-thu

Go to my site - shop.retroshop.us, go to projectors / HIDs / leds and they are a couple down on the page there. ;)

self tapping screws.

great mod, but very pricy. amazing amount of output

pricey? $65 a set, with the wiring......and it kills the WalMart specials. Its direct competitor is from Phillips, which retail around $200.

On the backup lights, did you use the spots or the side emitters?
