Neil they sell the duallys in a flush mount setup now. All you have to do is palce the template and mark it out on your bumper and then cut and drill the holes and mount the light. Here is a video they did.

Yes it would be Neil. I am pondering getting a set of the flush mount ones to put in the rear bumper just to help out when I go to some areas at night. I would probably use a wireless switch setup like I already use so I dont have to splice into the factory wiring.

Was pretty touchy when I installed cab lights. Had to drill 15 holes in the top.

With me living in the country with no street lights, I feel that it would be money well spent.
Money well spent indeed. Never l now when you could use more light.
