Rigid Flush-Mount LEDs in Rear Bumper! Pics & How-To

[justvettn]

Maybe I will get red if the amber is not allowed. The Dually flush mount has 45 degree angles on the mount, not a fan of that part, looks too much like an after thought, wish it was square like the Baja designs, just think its a cleaner look.

different strokes for different folks. I think the mount looks a little nicer and not just a square block lol.


Anyway little update, you CANNOT wire these up to your trailer harness. It'll throw "trailer fault" on the instrument cluster display. So I had to undo the wiring and they're still not hooked up yet lol. I'm going to try tapping them off a taillight wiring next. I'll make the one side of the switch with the reverse lights so by default they work like stock, and the other side will work with the parking lights. This way I can remote start the truck, the parking lights have power, and I can turn the lights on then.

So is there any adjustment to lights, can u point the towards the ground or are they at the angle of the truck.

U must have tools, luckly my dad was a mechanic and he left my brother and I all his tools. What he did not leave me and I need I have purchased. Need to go find snap on guy and get trim removal tools. Snap on guy loves me I come to him lol.

Curious how you ended up wiring them up. I just installed my set last night and like how yours is centered above the exhaust better, mine are slightly outbound. I will likely run a harness in the frame to the Upfitter switch #4 and be done with it. I would like it tied into reverse so I could control with #4 but don't think I will go to that trouble.

Thought about red lens.................Think it would be great, but the white will be equally as good for the close followers (switch on the fly)

Mine are getting delivered tomorrow and I can't wait for the weekend. Also, has anyone thought about or painted the black surface mount grey to match the bumper? Just wondering what it would look like.

Looking good. Flush mounts make for a very clean and sleek install!!

Any updates on the wiring on these?

I'd assume, run along the frame rail then up to an aux switch. Some people wire directly to reverse lights but then you can't turn them on whenever you want.

I know Motomute has his wired for both. I'm thinking T-tap into the reverse lights, with one side going to the light and the other to aux 4.

That's not a bad idea.
