Light to the Rear

[Nick@Apollo-Optics]

Has anyone added LED lighting to the rear of the Raptor?
I know some have added additional lights in the rear bumpers..
But what I am interested in is adding a 20" LED lightbar to the rear of the cab of the Raptor and with that shining out either make it a worklight or an area light.

I'm going to be adding a 60" LED lightbar to the windshield area and want to add a 20" to the rear..

If I turn on all the lights the desired effect is to have a beacon effect..

If you have any suggestions or comments, please do..It just seems like a cool idea to have..

I would like to be able to go shooting and use the lighting on the truck to light up everything..

Thanks!

Personally, I've seen some folks mount a 20" light to the top of the their bed rail that butts up against the cab. I've yet to see any company make a bracket for that location, but if you're okay with fabbing up a mount, it definitely can be done. What kind of light output are you looking for? We can go over different options with you to best suit your application. Let me know how I can help.

I am trying to get a rear light bar done before the 12 Sept Phoenix run in Ohio. I like the idea of Amber for not blinding the trucks behind you during a run but then also the ability to strobe (maybe to ward off a tailgater) or all white for a work light in the bed. Does a combo like that exist?

Would love to see some of your photos of rear facing lighting!

We have a couple options for you. You could run one of our multi-color lights that has the ability to run all white, all amber, or both white and amber at the same time. The only drawback to this is that you'd have to use two of your auxiliary switches to power the rows individually.

Another option would be to install an all-white light and some amber snap-on covers.

And we do offer strobe modules as well.

Let's talk more about what beam patterns and uses you're interested in and we'll get you set up!

Would the brackets that come with the lights not work on the top of the bed? Or is the light too thick?

I'm not completely sure how the lip at the top of the rear bed is shaped (I've had a bed cover on my truck since the first week I've had it). But as long as you could access the bolt to tighten it, I'd imagine that they'd work.

more is better

50"...does the trick (reverse light...wired to trailer plug's reverse)

the cubes are on a switch for runs (amber lens covers aren't on in the pic)

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but here is my submission on how i throw light off the back of the truck. I have all 4 Rigid's wired up to one switch currently and i also have 2 more D2's on my rear shackle. It offers me a lot of light when I'm backing up into spots and it is also a great safety feature when i head out to the dunes or on dusty roads.

Sorry its not a Raptor, but this will fit your truck.

Wish these leds could be run between the gate and the bumper. I have a super slim (1in tall) that a buddy gave me and I'm trying to make it work somewhere on the back.

You mounted that 50 to the bumper?

na

I mounted to the bed just above the bumper...can see in the pic attached. left room for a SVC V3 to be installed asap.

I also put my camera under the bar...still works great. (sort of stoked)
