Default Backup lights.

Hooked up some additional backup lights.
Found some fairly cheap lights that were somewhat small. Used a Bosch relay so they come on with the OEM backup lights + a rocker switch inside, so I could turn them off, when not needed. Mounted them to the frame just behind the plastic bumper thingy.



Here is a good place for a switch.

Nice job! I sure could use those as I have to back into the garage every night.

That's the same place I put my switch for my off road lights. Looks pretty nice. I was wondering when somebody would put lights back there.

Well, I have thought about that. If you look close (marks on the bumper) I was going to cut the bumper out, but then chickened out at the last minute. The lights were only $16 so if they get crushed it's not a huge loss, but if they get crushed so will my muffler.

FYI. I took the back bumper off and it weighed less than 20 lbs. imo.
