Baja Designs S2 for rear/ reverse aid lights.
(this is not their reverse kit, mine was ordered, still pending)

I had an extra set of S2 sport, so since I already did my wiring...
(from my aux power box)

I decided to install these using 3” zinc steel flat bar pieces.
I just used the 2 oem bottom rear bumper mounts.

Note: These will be place holders, until my actual kit comes.
But, Hopefully this will give some members here an idea of where they can mount rear aux lights. ( useful as work lights or reverse aid)

As for the lights themselves, they’re bright with very little amp draw!
Only about 2 amps draw each, but puts out great amount of light.
I have used them on my previous trucks and happy with them.

I mounted in the same area through a hole that already exist on the bumper...curious why you added a bracket?

I wanted the lights to mount higher/ top flush with the bottom of the bumper.

Also, I actually did not see any holes on my bumper but that looks good on your Ranger.

Strange...here's closeups of the hole..I might have drilled a hole but can't remember lol...my lights are about 1/2" from the bumper...

Mine def didn’t have those holes, I just checked. lol

I used the back ones, assuming it‘s the same holes that the reverse kit will use. (The BD kit comes with its own flat mount)

Btw, I actually still have those same S2 amber cover lens.
( from my old Raptor setup) Might be good for snow/ fog.
They snap right in, but a bit of a pain to remove tho.

So, I just want to update this thread since I received my BD mounts
for the actual Ranger reverse kit.

It actually mounts in the same spot as in my original post ( above)
Swapping the lights was easy, as I already did the wiring harness previously.

I opted not to use the reverse tailight connector, as I have it hooked up with my Aux switch. ( so I can turn it on/off as needed)

The S2 sport lights included in the kit have a wide pattern, so it‘s perfect for backup/ reverse aid or rear work lights.

How did you wire to have them trigger with the reverse lights?

The kit comes with the option to wire it to the reverse tail light wire.
I wired mine to a Fused Auxiliary switch panel, so I can just turn it on/ off as needed.

Did you have to do your own wiring to do this, or use the supplied kit and just splice it into your switch?

I may add these too, but would not want them connected to reverse lights. Too much city driving for me to tap in.

Where would I find those 4th Brake Light (triple lights) below the tailgate and above the bumper? They look much better than a full bar across the back.
