New Rear lights
I just got done putting some new 55 watt lights on the back of the truck to help with loading and unloading trailers and such. It is definetely nice to have some light going back there when you are working. The one thing I did not do was hook them up to the reverse lights like some others had, I did not want to blind somebody with them so I just decided to put them on a switch up front. I found some nice little switches put a extra one in while I was at it to balance the look out a little. I am sure I will find a need for it later

i have everything (same exact switch matter of fact) just haven't gotten around to installing them yet.
i hate backing up and not being able to see since it is so dark. I agree, it's just better to have them on a switch to maintain full control.

That was the idea to have it bright for these lights as I dont want to be driving down the road with them accidently on. I want to know when they are on, now as for the empty switch that may be a problem if I want whatever is put on that on a lot.

Thats what I did I mounted another switch when I put in my light switch, I am thinking of putting my heated mirrors from my 07 mirrors on there. Also its nice to have the lights on a switch for those pesky tail gaters

Here's mine
The other day around 6:00 A.M. I had some jerk come up behind me and flash his lights wanting me to go faster or move over. I was already going well over the speed limit and I could not move over, so I flipped the switch and wathched him squint as I left the lights on for a few seconds.

I got these at Advance Auto. The reason I picked these is because they were small and would mount up tight to the hitch. I did not want a bigger light because I did not want to knock them around driving thru stuff. If you want to stay small but want lots of light I think you can get a 100 watt bulb for these to replace the 55watt bulb they have.
