Auxiliary backup lights

Let's see those backup light setup's! And how do you have yours wired?

 

Lights are wired to SwitchPro module on lower left of dash. These add lots of extra light for backing. Don't have a night time picture to share.

 

Those look a lot better than the square pods that others are installing under the bumper.

I 'm looking into installing a small flush mount light to the right of the license plate. Still need to do more research to see which one will fit.

 

I have this bookmarked: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/rigid-ignite-led-pod-rear-factory-bumper-install.493316/

Rigid ignite in that spot to the right of the plate.

I'm thinking of doing what the poster of reply#40 did in that thread.... flush mounted rigid ignites in teh spots below the backup sensors.

 

Are those just bolted to the bumper, or is there a special bracket that you used?

 

They are bolted to bumper using existing holes.

 

No extra lights mounted for back up purposes but the 410 lumen LED lights from Diode Dynamics make my backup lights look like headlights.

 

i just threw on some lights i picked up from Amazon for 20$ each. two flush mount in the bumper for backing up, and two attached with some 3m above the back window for backing up/blinding tailgaters. they are wired up to come on every time it is thrown in reverse, or with the switch mounted in the center console.

while i was at it i also threw some on the side of the roof rack for when i go camping and need a little additional light. i decided to go with the cheapies (not just because of the money), because i dont drive the truck in reverse or side to side at speed, and dont need driving lights like some nice ass rigids. that being said, these are just about as bright as my stock headlights when they are on and shine a good way. and funny enough, since they are LED, I didnt necessarily need to use a relay (although i did). when i mocked them up just test, they were extremely bright, and in my personal opinion, look clean and not obnoxious looking (although i did have to put spacers to get the correct angle downward, and silicone to make them look like i wanted. i would have ideally liked to have a mount 3d printed that matched the angle of the cab, vs the downward angle i was looking for. if anyone out there has a 3d printer and would like to help out with that, id be stoked)

 

I like that. I'm jealous.

 

Tiny Rigid flush mounts (20641) that put out a massive amount of light. They come on when I put the truck in reverse.

Way too bright to be used as camping lights, and having them on a button in the cab would just encourage me to flash them at dumbasses that tailgate (making the situation worse), so no manual switch for now.

 

The center part of my chase bar is a reverse light. You can also see my old caliraised setup by the hitch.

Both of them are/were wired to my switchpros in the engine bay via quad brake cable and weatherpacks.

Before my switchpros, I had the caliraised unit wired to a DPDT switch (to isolate the 2 circuits) so in the middle position it was disarmed, in the forward position it was manually on, and in the back position it was triggered by the truck going into reverse.
