backup lights

im not sure what the appropriate forum would be for this thread so im just gonna put it here,

im looking for some reverse lights to put on the truck. id like to get the grommet mount truck-lite style lights so that theyre completly out of the way tucked in the bumper. but i cant quite find the right size. they have 4" round and 6" oval lights. 4" is almost too tall to fit and i dont want to cut that much out of the rear bumper and loose the structural support. 6" is only 2" tall but wider, still alot to take out of a main impact/ frame/ pulling area.

what are you guys using? anyone know where i could get some 2.5" round lights?

Yeah, those cheap lights touted to be driving/fog lights sold to the rice-rocket crowd. Check PepBoys.com Even Harbor Freight sells 'em.

I use 4-inch work lights... got 'em for $5 at the swap meet. They're mounted to custom brackets to the frame - not the bumper.

Not to steal your thread or anything 351, but I gotta ask Hio. You runnin' shine incognito?
