    I know it's been discussed on here before, but I just did a quick search and couldn't find it.......so:

    I have two 55W slim fog lights from Kragen mounted to the factory holes in my rear bumper (one on each side of the hitch). I am happy with that. They are pretty safe there, but I suppose if I got crazy with it off road I could hit them.

    I have them wired up to come on with the stock reverse lights OR with the flip of a switch. I think the switch is important so they can be used as loading/utility lights without being tempted to keep the truck running and in reverse gear. I read a news article awhile back where someone got themselves killed that way.
