Flush reverse lights installed

Used a dewalt cutter and sawsall to trim it up

Finally done. Wired to my reverse lights and a toggle switch took about 4 hours

Because this happened.. damn drill bits

She was hard to get under control...

Peroxide and whiskey. But now at least I can see behind me in the dark.. (no not like that... gross) I officially have blood and sweat invested in her

Sorry to see the hurt finger, hope it’s all alright.

The install looks real real good though. What lights are those? I’m going to look in to doing something like this on the wife’s Excursion.

Any by chance we can get a night time shot to see how much they light up?

The finger was more of an inconvenience than a pain..they are decently bright.. for $10 off the eBay I can’t complain they look good and work good so this is another successful endeavor in my book of my 7.3 mods/upgrades. That’s all they are are $10 eBay lights.. nothing special but they do the job that the $60 lights do

The measurements are pretty simple. This is the only place I found behind the bumper where brackets weren’t in the way.. I can get the measurements tomorrow if you want but it’s pretty easy

I would like measurements, or pictures of what the behind the bumper looks like.

How did you wire them up?

This is the driver side of my bumper

Holding the tape tongue flat

When measuring leave some extra meat so you don’t cut too big of a hole

Measure off hitch receiver to top corner of your sharpie lines on each side to make sure it’s close to the same

It comes close but this is what it looks like I tried to explain it as simple as I could but people have their different ways of measuring stuff.. when I gat time I can take the light off and take actual photos of the tape against the cut areas.. also use a 10 foot tape it’s way easier to bend
