Can someone post some pictures of Rigid lights mounted in the stock rear bumper. A local shop quoted me 475 for the lights and installation, Im kicking around the idea of getting them just want to see what they would look like before I go cutting holes in my bumper.

Here's what I did. I mounted them in this location to throw light to the sides to see what you're turning into when backing.

Very nice, I like how they are tucked out of the way. The lights I was looking at are more like the full size D2s but flush mounted. What is the product number of the lights you have? Also how do you have them wired, do you have them run to an aux switch or do they automatically come on when you put it in reverse?

You have to be careful you dont wash out your camera. I posted a writeup on mounting some TMX D2 type lights under the bumper tucked up high.

Thats exactly what I was thinking about doing. The main question I have is are the lights too bright for the backup camera? I have heard rumors that they can "washout" the image on the display.

I think the guys who have used the diffused beam pattern or lens have had better luck with the lights not washing out the image from the rear camera.

I have the regular Dually's diffused and flush mounted. I think if they were any brighter or more concentrated it would completely wash it out.

I have floods, it does washout the image. One advantage is that no one tailgates me. Agree with the other posts, diffused is the way to go.

What about ambers? I ordered amber flood dually s in my new ADD rear bumper. Has anyone had was out issues with that setup? If so I might need to call and Chang to the diffused.
