I have alley lights mounted on my tool box (small led spots) that are controlled by my lightbar controller (Whelen Cencom). My lightbar (Whelen Freedom) also has alley lights.

Actually, when I am driving up and down rows of campers looking for the one I am scheduled to pull, I use the in mirror spots. I have found it difficult to read serial numbers in the dark and not run into things while travelling at high speed in the dark, so they work just fine for that purpose. Which, oddly enough, is similar to pulling a camper through a campground (which usually have winding roads) at night.

Lighting up the countryside has it's place, but very bright lights in campgrounds are generally unwelcome.

Mine has some OEM side lights built into the side view mirrors and they do a decent job, I would guess the Plt has them also????

My XLT doesn't have mirror spots. I think I've found a spot on the frame behind the front tire I'm going to try to mount a narrow flood light angled toward the front side and see how that works. Hoping to get that done this weekend. I'll come back with an update if it works.
