$19 Reverse Light Solution!
5 Attachment(s)
Went to purchase rock lights from Walmart yesterday and noticed a few other lights they had in stock. I read the Platinum Burner lights were very bright and were super cheap so I decided to buy a set of 2"x4" along with my two sets of smaller rock lights. It came to $60, not too bad! Comes with all the necessary wiring, switches, and fuses.
Here is the box for the 2"x4": Attachment 273272 After re-sealing all seams with silicone, I pre-drilled a few holes and then installed the brackets with sheet metal screws (the ones supplied are not strong enough to tap into the chassis) Attachment 273273 Lights installed: Attachment 273274 Attachment 273275 They're not wired yet, I will post when they are along with a review on how I like them. And here are the rock lights to be installed sooooon! I covered all seams with silicone. Attachment 273271 |
Hopefully it works out for you . I got screwed on some cheap lights from ebay...

Do you have them wired to work when in reverse or did you choose to use a seperate switch?

Finally got around to wiring up my lights this weekend. They work great at night, wayyy brighter than I expected. These can also be flipped around facing forward for a 'rock light' effect.
In all spent $19 + $8 for a new switch. Installing lights and running wires took a total of 1 hour 15 minutes, taking my time. Attachment 277640 Attachment 277641 Attachment 277642 |

. Real easy to do, great weekend project. |
Very nice, What I'm interested in, is how long they last? I've had VERY bad luck with walmart bulbs lasting through bouncing etc.

Sorry for the crappy phone pics in advance...
Installed rock lights yesterday in front & rear wheel wells. I turned the reverse lights to face the underside of the rig. Very satisfied with the build. $60 for lights, $20 for switches, $12 for beer, and about 4 hours. There's one more check on the list... Next is the 1.25" RC body lift on Saturday! :thumbsup: Attachment 280302 Attachment 280303 Attachment 280304 |
