Help with problem up reversing at night
Hey
When i reverse into my driveway i can do it easily as long as there is light out. When it gets to the middle of the night and i have to reverse into my driveway its a pain to see. Either too close to my F450 Work truck or into my neighbors lawn.
Any way to add lighting for something to help with backing up at night?
Thanks
Bruno

Small low profile driving lights that are about 55W work pretty well. I have a set mounted to my hitch and are sorta hidden. They are hooked up to my reverse light wire going to my trailer plug. Do a search cause there are some others on here that have done this with pix.

There was a post on here not to long ago where someone took those 55w lights and mounted them between the hitch and rear bumper with pics on here with a wiring diagram and looked very clean. It showed the lights on at night and looked like day time should cure your problem.

I put on a pair of truck/tractor utility lights on each side of my reciever and they help out alot:
I also have a Pioneer Avic-D3 with a pioneer backup camera and it has excellent night vision to help when backing up:
