LED pods in rear bumper (pic heavy)

[big_red06]

thanks wasnt sure so what i was thinking was to tap the power of both lights into the reverse wire of the 7 pin and ground them to the frame will that be an ok way to do this

That will work fine.

i have a question i want to mount two of these to come on only for reverse lights can i use the reverse power and ground from my 7 pin trailer connection for two 18 watt lights or is the power draw to much i'm still figuring this diy stuff out so sorry if this has been asked before

On my Old Truck a 95 Ford F-250 I put two work lights on the back of my truck mainly for back up lights. I just taped into the wiring for the reverse lights. When I put the truck in reverse the lights come on. I want to do the same thing with my new 2500 Laramie CC/LB but I would also like to figure out how to wire them so I can turn them on when I need lights to do things behind the truck.

This is what you need to do.
This way when the three way switch is in one position the lights are automatic with the reverse lights.
Having the switch in the middle will turn the lights off completely and flipping the switch to the third position will turn them on whenever you want them to be on manually.

Cont'd
Pics:
6) Finished with cuts and mounting holes, and used an oil paint pen to trace all cuts and holes as a rust inhibitor
7) Since the bumper face isn't 100% flat I used foam/rubber as a gasketing material to seal up light bezel to bumper face
8&9) Foam rubber cut and slid onto light
10) LEDs complete;y mounted

I didnt post any of the wiring install bc that will differ depending on how you want them to operate. I have the AUX switches in my dash so all i had to do was run a single 12VDC+ wire to the connection point in the engine compartment. Grounded the other to frame in rear of truck.

Hey i just ordered my lights . Where did u get the foam to use as a gasket

couldn't work up the nerve to cut up a perfectly good bumper so i took a different approach light pods in flood beam pattern like daytime in my back up cam now made a big difference. best 20 dollars I have spent on the truck and I think they look good too

Looks good!

On an aside... I see a thousand license plates a day, none covered. Why do we cover our license plates in our forum photos?

Makes absolutely no sense.

A lot of information can come from a plate. It all starts with your name... Then address (perfect for stealing that new mod that was just installed), family, income, everything.

Why lock your doors?

It's sadly just another layer of comfort/protection because there are some greedy/crazy **** heads out there, that will goto the extreme to take your hard earned ****.

IMO

I suppose, if you were worried about being targeted vs. the normal random stealing of your mods... pretty sad situation.
