Reverse Bar Led Lights

[zarc14]

Installed reverse bar Led lights…for those considering ‘it really lights the rear of truck nicely’ sorry not sorry for non UM fans lol

Did you wire into one of the auxillary switches?

That’s right, with other led lights taking up switches, this ended up going on the Aux #4 position

Very nice! Were the mounting brackets something that came with the lights, or did you create those?

Buy once, cry once. Do yourself a favor and get Baja Designs right out of the gate. They make a kit for mounting that includes wiring for AUX switch.

I am unimpressed with the stock backup lights. I'm looking at the Baja ones. It looks like the harness is only for the upfitter switch. Feels like it would be alot nice to wire them to the reverse circuit instead of a switch. Even better yet they'd come on when either the switch is flipped or you are in reverse. Anyone do something like that?

What package do you have that you are unimpressed with them? The video I saw looks pretty good for the 402A with the LEDs, curious if that's the one you are dissatisfied with?

If you order this harness from starkey: https://www.starkey-products.com/truck-suv-backup-reverse-lighting-wiring-switch
You can order it without the switch, hook it up to the upfitter harness under the hood and they will come on with revers lights or the switch. I spoke to them in the phone to confirm before I orders it and will be installing soon!

401a. They have small halogen reverse lights.

You can have it wired to do both. I had a local shop install mine like that, they just tap into your reverse lights with a diode.

Add in tinted windows and pretty much any stock reverse lights suck. I also like the ability to flip my switch and use them for utility at night for loading and unloading things into the truck.

I thought about this route but was worried about the extra draw throwing a code in these new computer trucks! I assume it’s all ok and no codes?

Haven't had any on my 2018 Gen 2 Raptor.
