    I like the idea of mounting the lights in a spot like this. Anybody else use a spot that is similar?

    Thanks for the example Lusetaco.

    It's a good spot. But, like I said it's a cheapo light. With some decent lights in that spot though would light up behind you nicely. And, It's like 8 degrees right now I'm not going out therrr. :D

    This is the light with the bracket I used. It's just mounted using this and the existing hole for the bedside support bracket.

    If you look closely you can see the bolt I used.

    I have some older sing row 6" LED pods I might have to try in this spot. I didn't want to mount under the bumper because I thought they'd probably be ripped off.

    I like the idea but I think with all the gravel / dirt roads I'm on these would need constant cleaning to work for me

    Yeah that's the biggest downside. Probably why he's just using cheap pond lights. Interesting idea though

    That and I would rather spend $30 and install lights in the bumper or something.

    I found them on eBay and the company stopped making them. The eBay store has also been shut down. I wish they still made them so I could recommend them. They have a cast aluminum housing that's completely sealed. I stuck one in a bucket with the leads hooked up to a 9V for 30 minutes to test and no leaks, no condensation.

    They are all made in China but if you search "16 W LED Work Light" on eBay, you can find cheap flush mount and stand-alone lights. I've had mine for about 8 months now with no problems. Not bad for $32 + wiring.

    Here's an on/off shot on the lights. Btw, they are a flood pattern.

    I have since removed one of them because it got water inside it. I have a new set of Blitzpro's to go in place of these, just haven't got around to it.

    I was looking last night at this spot and because I still have flaps on (hopefully they don't get ripped off sometime) it seems like the area is relatively sheltered. I had my truck out in a little mud last weekend and this area didn't get too dirty, seems mostly because it is right behind and above the flap. There is also another spot a little higher which might work. I don't need the light to go out like a headlight just light up maybe 20' or so.
