Anyone do reverse lights on their 33? If yes a couple questions...

1) what light (brand / part #) did you select?
2) where did you mount them?

I haven't done it but I saw someone had mounted some LED's in the license plate surround

Ohhhh....never thought of that .....that's kind of cool.

My concern and why I'm thinking about adding them is in SoDak, for some odd reason people exceed parking lot speed limits all the time and for whatever the reason they tend to slow down / stop for reverse lights verses a brake light.

My reverse light is a combo light with my license plate light, its from United Pacific, I ordered it from a local dealer, the link is this: https://www.uptruckparts.com/chrome-license-plate-light-with-white-led-backup-110204

I like the light as it is inconspicuous and it is a strong light for reversing. If you have a backup camera you can adapt the bracket to hold it as well and then you have the max view behind you at all times.

138331 The License Plate bracket I ended fabricating out of a piece of aluminum angle to exactly accommodate the plate/reverse light (I have a drawing I can send if you like)
138332 You can see it better here
138333 A view with my plate on it (Yup custom plate that says "MY 33")

I bought mine from amazon here:

I attached them right to sheet metal of the trunk. Works fine so far.

Actually looked at those on Amazon a couple weeks back. I think they are tagged in a wishlist.
