Back up lights?

[pro99]

I am looking for some good back up lights. I seen a truck with back up lights that fit under the trailer hitches and are one-piece construction. Does anyone have picks or links to a good web site? Does anyone have picks of them on there trucks?

my truck's b/u lights

I am going to try to link this [#ad

See if this works?

Some times I amaze myself!! The lights are tractor utillity lights with air craft spot lights 100w bulbs they throw a long spot light pattern, being that low they shine right under my trailer so the help even with trailer at night.

ProTurbo, I think the ones you are referring to are the WhiteNights, sold by Geno's Garage. I have them and they are excellent and an easy 20 min. install. I'll never go back to just oem backups.

wyosteve ~ Geno's told me because I don't have factory hitch they could not be sure it would work on mine. Moral I guess check with Geno's to make sure they will wokrk. Oh someone here and I don't remmber who cut them in have and spread them apart and mounted. Hope this helps a little. There are some on JCWitney I amlooking at that also includes a relay, etc.

I just installed these. Great improvement over stock!

Found them at a local 4-wheelin shop; cheaper than JC Whitney when you add shipping.

LIGHTS

CEVERS, YOU GOT GOOD LOOKIN LIGHTS... Oo.

I solved my rear lighting problem by adding 2 - 3x5 - 50watt Agricultural halogen floods to the bottom of my receiver hitch tubing. I bought them and my Deere dealer for about $50. 00.

I wired them to a lighted toggle switch on my dash and now can use them for backing or as work lights. (Lighted so I remember they are on... ..... just incase I forget)

Here's a pic of my lights. Navigator Backup lights from Auto Zone.

cservers, where did you get the aircraft spot bulbs? thanks in advance Ian

 

[csevers]

I had found the first one( I didn't want to buy 2 and not like them) at Weaver Auto Parts Liked it so much I had them order one extra for there next stock order I Have also found the 100w aircraft light at Farm & Fleet aka MEN'S MALL, one is a GE and the other is I think a Plillips and they said aircraft spot on box. I ran them off a relay mounted behind right tail light and wired to b/u's only, there is a draw back and that is in city parking lots at night it scares people when night becomes day in there rear view mirorr Seriously I have had people jump as I put it in reverse and they got blasted with light. At least there is NO confusion is to if I am backing up!!

Like the Hella's, just not sure about the clearance issue?

 

[Thomas]

Hella 90601 dimensions.



They don't hang down far. Almost two years without any problems. The only time I've had to readjust them was after a red Camero driver stopped about one foot late, tweaking my right side lamp and destroying his bumper, hood, and who-knows-what as he nailed the weight distributing hitch I had in the receiver. The two photos I've attached are actually my son's truck. My install is identical except I used quarter-inch aluminum for brackets instead of the HDPE my son used.

Nice job Thomas.



Csevers, what's your bumbersnicker on the left say?





btw - mine are here... https://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=49747

Have the Hella 90601 like THOMAS. They are mounted identically to the picture he posted. They hang about 1" below the edge of the trailer hitch. I haven't hit them yet. I have mine kind of angled to light to the sides too. I also have a marine push pull switch under the tailgate so that I can turn them on when I am work behind the truck.

Left side says" Have You Thanked A Veteran For Your Freedom Today?" Some people don't think about it much, I am not a vet but appreciate there hard work.



Right one says" got freedom?"

P. S. I have pushed my lights up in to hitch only one time so far and that was with trailer on loaded w/seed corn and fertilizer and a deep ditch before field didn't hurt them any.
