Great light pictures guys

Yup, nice job on the lights!

Yesterday finally got to try out the new backup lights on the work truck that I had to rebuild the rear section on. They are a driving light so the light is more focused, as strange as it is that is what I wanted for this truck. Reason being it always has a boat behind it so the light needs to be focused to get under and past the boat. If the light is flooded it just lights up the front of the boat and you can't see anything past the boat or trailer when in the truck.

I wired it from the mirror over to the drivers side pillar, down to the fuse box. I ran the video cable thru the firewall and under the truck to the license plate. The included video cable ran out underneath the rear door, but no biggie, just connect to another cable and finish up. I also wired it all to the ignition so the camera runs the whole time, not only in reverse.

Amazon.com: PYLE PLCM36 3.5'' Slim TFT LCD Universal Mount Monitor w/ License Plate Mount Rearview Night Vision Backup Camera: Car Electronics

I saw a couple of wireless ones on Amazon, but most of them were more expensive and had worse reviews. I think I saw someone on the site who had installed a wireless one though........

Wireless is not as good I hear.................

I believe there is an opening behind the license plate, couldn't you run the wire through there and maybe drill a hole at the top of the licens plate for the wire to go through? So you wouldn't see the wire. Just a thought, cool set up though.

Jigger2020 10-19-2011 04:33 PM

Maybe mount the camera above the bumper outa sight
