Default back up lights / fog 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?

I'm doing the same thing, for the same reason. Night fishing!

Going with a pair of these. Already have some on my boat. They bright enough to get the job done and are very cheap.
Going to just dbl side tape mine on, to the bottom of my bumper.
Then hook them up to the reverse light and ground wire on the trailer hookup.

I would screw them in rather than tape since you live in AR. I live in north east Texas (about an hour from AR) and taped mine on. They stayed on until the Texas summer hit and then the tape melted. I used 3M double sided tape too.
