So, second upfitter switch hooked up today.
Added a electric operated shutoff valve to my auxiliary tank, connected the actuator to the #3 switch.
Also left the original manual valve in ahead of the electric one in case something goes wrong with the electric one while there is still fuel in the tank.
So it looks like I have a couple bolts at the bottom of the bumper about where your light is mounted (have it on both sides of rear bumper). It would look like I would be able to just use that same screw/bolt to hold a small light bracket. Just not sure that is a good idea or not?
Yes, they all have those bolts, but they didn't look to me like a viable option.
If you think you can make them work, then more power to you.
But, it was a simple thing to drill the bumper, and then I got my lights exactly where I wanted them.
I finally added some lights under the rear bumper for my first hook up to the upfitter switches, the reverse lights are pretty crappy.
Took the upfitter fuse box off to get at the taped bundle of wires.
Nothing special for lights. Habor Freight 6" Roadshock flood light .
Used the outer bolt under the bumper I did add a thick washer to lower it just touch.
No nighttime shot to see the width & distance but for the immediate area it lights nicely, it will be a couple days before I can get a nighttime shot. I had 12g wire left over from previous project , used 2 14' protective wire wrap bundles and lights so roughly $70 total.

I used those bolts to mount these round lights from tractor supply. I would rather not start drilling holes until I know I have a good set that will last. I’d hate to drill holes and then have to replace them with something that may require different hole locations. They turned our great!I did like the user above and also added a couple of washers to lower the lights and allow me to have a little more adjustability with the lights.
Here are two pics I took this morning on the forest road looking at the display. First one is the trucks reverse lights, second is the added flood lights that reach out roughly 125' back and 25' or so to either side. Much better being able to see in reverse now in the dark.
From the job site this past week, pitch black with 20' drop off to either side of the gravel road. The truck seen in the pic is 150' away. Good light spread and distance for these flood lights for being mounted low. I was standing right at the rear corner of the truck leaning against it when picture was taken.
