Rear bumper light solutions

You may be right ...the owner of Fifty Nation Garage May be only 16.

Yes sir, amber for driving, white for reverse

EDIT: Never mind. Found the video on YouTube from Fifty Nation.

Of all the pics here ,yours is the best and cleanest look , Yes you have to cut holes...but the ones hanging under the bumper look like a 16 year old installed them ..lol.

I have seen so many older trucks with mounted bumper lights where either they are rusting or corroding around the light, the light is rusted or corroded, or both. The last thing I want to do is have a bumper replaced or re-sprayed. With the under mounted option on the tow bar, they can be easily replaced.

In addition, I can adjust the angle to shine down the dark, cold, and slippery ramps when I am launching my boat. With a bumper mounted option, the light would just shine off into the sky when I launch the boat.

Multiple reasons why a bumper flush mount won't work for me.

My previous 07 KRanch had that setup and you are right on all counts plus the paint came off of the lights !!

I just bought these BMC hitch lights. Have not received yet but will let you know and pics when I do.

This is what I did. No holes. I used two pairs of square clamps from amazon to attached the lights to the hitch tube on each side. Ran a power and ground wire to the up-fitter stubs in the engine bay.

Does that block the hitch pin and can you get a locking pin it there?

By me and was told most states amber needs to be up front and red in back. I had amber couple years back and got a warning ticket but guessing because he had nothing else on me

I can still get it, plenty of room behind to get it in.

3 L brackets and hitch is wide open

Absolutely right. Only red should be visible on the rear.

Any issues with being mounted so close to exhaust.

Got my BMC rear lights mounted and wired to upfitter switch very happy with it.
