    Does anyone have a set up with dually flush mount lights into their rear bumper? could also be other brand lights. I would like to install some lights in the rear for reverse and also switch for flood lights in the rear when towing and in general use.


    thanks J

    Ok.... this is going to be a dumb question. I love your set up. Is there a way to just wire it into tow harness (I've got the 7 Pin) and have it come on when you throw it in reverse? What I'm trying to keep from doing is running wire all the way from the back into the cab. Is it possible to tap into the reverse line with a inline fuse or do those lights draw too much power?

    Thanks in advance.

    These are my flush mounts, and they are wired to the reverse lights.

    Looks great, but I would think for any off roading you would run the risk of tearing those right off.

    Doesn't run too much power for the light's if you tie them in to the reverse lights?

    Amp draw on the diffused flush mounts plus the oem lamps doesn't even reach 5 at max amperage, I think it will be fine. Mine have been in there half a year without issues. Don't solder the wiring, I used butt splices and heat shrink and scotch 33 electrical tape with silicone to make it waterproof behind the tail lights

    Connected it in the rear to the wiring for a rear light. Didn't have to run it back to the cab.

    I did lose some lower clearance. There is only one screw that holds it on. Easy fix is to flip it to the inside of the bumper while off road.

    I have a set of the rear lights that go flush with the bumper. Anybody have any pictures on insulation? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    Measure twice and cut, then figure out if you are gonna tap into the reverse light or run it to a switch.
