From: Grand Island, NY

I put in 55 watt halogen lights in place of the standard back up light. Outside them seem brighter but from the drivers seat using the mirrors the difference is minimal. I plan on installing some cheap tractor or flood lights up behind the bumper corners shining down at the pavement. You will not see them from outside the truck, I taped a flashlight up there pointed down at my driveway. It flooded the pavement with light and was easy for me to see the edge of driveway and grass while backing up using the side view mirror.

I'll second the SilverStar's, short of upgrading to HIDs.

[QUOTE=scholzee]You could try something like this

that's a good idea it just uses the trailer wires. I bet I rig something up with fog lights using the same wires.
