Rear Facing Light Bar

[ylwjacket]

I'm thinking of hanging a pair of 5 inch LED bars at the corners of the back bumpers. I don't want them to be reverse lights necessarily, but switched in the cab. I am thinking I'd home run power all the way to the engine bay to tie into an auxiliary fuse box up there.

Not sure how this will look, so I will get something cheap to start in case it's a bust. I would like to have the ability to not only see in reverse, but also to switch them on at a campsite, etc.

Anyone else done something like this?

Kinda like the yellow ones on the bottom in the first vid, but white. So I guess it's doable, thanks.

I've got extra two inch reverse lights in my bumper wired to the stock reverses and pointed directly rearwards. Def helps a ton, but unless you also live in the boonies, you definitely want a switch. I also have two two inch floods mounted on the rear of my GFC high up, angled down, on a switch. They're less useful for reversing, but work great around camp and while working on the tailgate. You know where to find pics of my truck.

I believe both BD and DD make those. They mount to a little bracket that's under there. No drilling required IIRC.

Subbed. I want to mount like a 30 inch rear facing bar for those who don't dim their high beams

There is a bolt under there that you can use to.mount a bracket to.

Just check your 563 page build thread.

There are actually four holes on the underside of the bumper that can be used, 2 on the lower ridge, and 2 on the higher ridge.
