    There are many threads regarding LED backup light pods but I haven't seen any compact ones in my search. I know rigid makes a nice set but it's pricey for how seldom I need them.

    I found these on CaliRaised but don't know the total power draw. I'm not sure if they will work wired into the trailer harness. Anyone have suggestions for slim (single row) LED flood lights? I would like a pair of 1x3 LED in flood pattern but my searches are coming up short.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the feedback. Is there any difference in the LEDs? They look similar to the ones I posted.

    Yes, they are different from the Cali-Raised ones. I'm not sure on the specifics of their light and what LEDs they use, but we are using Cree chips in ours and our housing is different from theirs and is IP69K rated vs their IP68 rated. Those are the most obvious differences, but it is difficult to tell with the little information given on their site. Of course, the link I provided is for the full kit including two lights and wiring harness and hardware.

    Yessir, I will PM you now.

    Very nice setup, thanks for posting. I hadn't considered this when I was doing research. I liked the idea of LED pods since I could position them as needed. I used my trailer harness to power the LEDs so I should be able to add those bulbs without issue.

    Thanks for the info. I admit that I am running some cheaper lights on the truck but I didn't know if I would really ever use them, and if so, that often. I think I've gone once since I've had my light bar and that was just by accident. If I ever develop the need for a light bar then I'll be upgrading what I have.

    I'll keep you guys in mind when I get around to adding lights to my dual sport. Thanks again for your help.
