HAYNES OFFROAD
aka Wreckless
Well it all started with wanting some better back up lights, among the rest of the lighting I want to do. Because i found out how horrible the stock reverse lights were when i decided to back down my blacktop driveway, in the middle of the night, with no city lights around. So decided that I take care of these real quick. So i got these poverty lights off ebay, 10w single led floods, for $50.
OK so here come the dreaded aux wires under the dash everyone's been talking about, tight spaces and all. Well I fiqured there had to be a better way! So I start looking and seen that our aux wires are taped all along the wire harness so I started there and carefully cut ALL the tape off the wire harness. Then I found the white harness clips taped up too, so I undid those as well, i tried pulling them out, but space is limited to where its hard to get to them.
After cutting all that tape, I was able to pull down carefully.
And what do we get for 10-15 minutes!?!?!? Extra wire to work with!!!!! Adds much needed leg length to either way you want to work with.
OK so now that was done I got them all hooked up ready to go as we all know how. If you dont, check out Birdman's upfitter how to thread. Then I got my backup lights mounted and wire ran to the back of the truck and are all hooked up. Here's some output shots!!!!! Very happy for spending less than $75 on everything.
These were all taken from I my camera phone so quality not the best. But these made a HUGE improvement.

but so far the dealer that I bought them from (US based) has been really helpful, and even gave me better lights than the original ones i picked out, because they were out of stock. So well see. But as these are just some back up/work light I'm not too worried about dependability.
