    So today I got my new LED 4 inch light from Paul (slimchubby) and decided touse them as reverse lights. I have 20 percent tint and I can’t see anything behindme when I’m backing up. I tried led replacement bulbs and those weren’t brightenough. I pmed Paul and started talking about led lights that he had and herecommended his 8 led light - http://www.slimshidxenonsource.com/product-details.php?product_id=10013- and I also got a wiring harness to wire everything up

    At first I was pretty skeptical but after talking to Paul I knew he carriedthe best of the best LED lighting possible for the market. His customer serviceis the best hands down!! Called him a few times and answered my questions righton the spot! As for the quality of lights, wires, and switches definitely thebest I have seen in a while! Everything was soldered and sealed up with shrinkwrap tubing. Definitely top of the line stuff being offered by Slimchubby.

    As for wiring the lights up all I did was cut my power wire to my reverselights and spliced in a new hot wire running to the lights. For the ground Imounted the lights to my hitch and I grounded it to the hitch. The reason I putthem on the hitch was I wanted them hidden, I’m not a fan of those big reverselights plow guys use that hang off their bumpers and look really goofy. Iwanted a cleaner look with the lights as hidden as possible. Here are a fewpictures of the lights and how bright they really are. My drive is about 200feet long and I can see down the whole drive, they are brighter than my 6000KHIDS
