Default additional backup lights

Anyone done a nifty install of additional backup lights? I do alot of bowfishing at night and it sure would be nice to have some extra light back there when backing up the boat. plus i could think of many other cases where the extra light back there would be nice especially after i tint my tail lights.

I've seen a few trucks around town that have done this but the execution of the concept was below par. Rather than using big 4" lights that stick out like a sore thumb, i wanted to use some low profile LED lights that look cleaner.

I also thought about hooking these up to my reverse lights some how rather than a switch.

any thoughts or pics?

Was a guy who made a thread not to long ago with a 2010 NNBS, he put HID's in the reverse lights. They were very clean and extremely bright. It looked like a nice install.





Search HID and it was like the first thread or two, something like, HID crazy

I've been thinking about adding backup lights to the boat trailer.

probably better to run LED's vs. HID's because HID's take a bit to warm up. i forget the site but im sure that someone else can chime in and pick up my slack.

ezdaar,
yep i saw your post and i appreciate it. In matter of fact, i ordered some of those same lights. But your's was the only reply i got, so I thought I'd try again just to see what other options where.
