Mounting rear LED lights
I wanna put a set of rear LED lights on the rear of my truck under each bumper corner for plowing. The wiring isn't an issue. I looked under each corner and there isn't too much to mount to. Any ideas ? It's an 08 f350
I can't put them directly in the center because I have the salter mounted
Thanks

I had a set done for backup and the installer just drilled a small hole in the bumper and they are fine. Had over 30k miles and no issues with them. I know not your application but you should be fine with it.

I put mine in my custom 6x8 bumper...For plowing or for any work truck I don't like anything hanging down anywhere cause stuff jumps out and they will get ripped off for sure. I would find a way to keep them from going under anything...How about on the sander? Higher is better.

I had a set of leds flush mounted in my last f150's bumper and loved them. They werent rigids. i had them for over a year and had no problems with them and they were $50 for a pair on amazon.
i went a slightly different route on my 08 though. I bought two single row led light bars an mounted them under the bumper and they work great, maybe a bit overkill though, i can see about 150yards in reverse lol.

If you have a trailer hitch, consider mounting them there. I installed a set of LED's on a customers truck by drilling two holes into the OEM trailer hitch. Once I drilled the holes I sprayed a bit of fluid film into each hole to help with corrosion and bolted them on. Looks sharp, they're tucked out of the way, and throw great light. Here's a few pictures
