LED pods for reverse lights

[TylerG]

Who here has put LED pods on the rear of their pickups for reverse lights? I really don't know why factory reverse lights have to suck so bad and really want to do something better.

2013 ram 3500 want to wire them up so that they come on when truck put into reverse but would not be opposed to wiring them to a switch either.......

Cut them into the bumper? Or mount them below?

On my 2014 Ram I have pods bolted to the sides of the receiver mount on either side of the spare tire. Far enough in to be invisible walking around the truck but still light up the road great at night. Connected to the reverse wire in the trailer harness.

shouldn't be a problem Tyler I mounted them on the back bumper of my holiday trailer just for that reason great for backing up in the dark

flush mount them to your bumper and then put a 3 way switch in on-off-on. Then you can wire up one side of the switch for on when in reverse or the other side just on for when you need to do something behind the truck but cannot leave it in reverse... Use some artic flex wire to run from the front of your truck to the back will make a nice clean job and give you all the wires you need in 1 place.

Did you go from the battery to a relay to lights?

Happen to have a one line?

Have flush mounts in my bumper, should have done it years ago it is so nice. I just tied into my backup wiring on the 7 pin trailer connector.

I have an aftermarket bumper and it has flush light mounts built in. Looks slick.


Bulletproof bumpers out.of Red Deer

I have them on my truck. Bumper was cut out to accept the flush mounts. They are wired to a switch though, because they wash out the backup camera which can be a bit annoying when you're hooking up to a trailer. It's also nice to flip them on when you're connecting a trailer in the dark or loading a sled.

Here’s an idea. If you aren’t hooking up trailer often. https://www.diodedynamics.com/hitchmount-led-pod-reverse-kit.html

i was watching a early rerun of Diesel Brothers the other night and they were doing a ram truck that sure looked like it had a LED spot/flood mounted right inside the stock location in the tail light. Been looking online and i have found the similar images but non of them ever had a manufacturer name attached to them..
