Default Back Up Light Mounting

Just ordered a set of 6 Cubes from Inspired Engineering (very similar to Dually D2s). I am going to use for back up lights.

I am looking for ideas on mounting them. Correct me if I am wrong but BDF doesn't make their tail light mount anymore right? Any advice would be appreciated.

Rigid bought Tim (bdf) so his designs are now available under their name. There are also knock-off's on eBay if you've got a budget to keep.

That's what I thought. I like the mount only problem is Rigid's brackets don't fit cube lights they are for the SRM and SRQs.

I made my own mount since I am not running a rear bumper right now. I used a piece of aluminum square tube and installed the rigids above my license plate. I like how the switch is set up to activate with the backups or can be manually turned on.

I dremeled out openings to fit the SRM Flush Mount lights into my factory tail lights. Tapped the light into my reverse wiring, works like a charm.

Thanks for the offer but I already purchased the lights before posting this thread. Couldn't beat their Black Friday deals. I guess my choices are to mount to factory bumper or build a bracket attached to the tire carrier and clear the spare. Still looking for ideas.
