I'm looking for some ideas for auxiliary reverse lights. Im going to be picky because I dont want to drill or cut into my brand new truck so I would prefer bolt on or stick on lights if that's possible. Im also looking to keep them as inconspicuous as possible so I dont want light pods mounted to the trailer hitch or under the bumper. In my search for the "perfect" set up for me I came across the CURT harness that T's into the factory trailer connector so I'll be using that to tap into the wires so I dont cut into the factory harness. Hopefully my pickyness leaves me some options. If you use anything can you post some pictures for me? Thanks

I've since removed the zip ties and they're as solid as ever a year later. I prefer the LUYED type since they're basically invisible unless you know they're there or they're on.

So I had been looking at my reverse lightning situation more closely since following this (and other similar) thread(s), and while it's not quite as bright as I'd like it to be, it's sufficient.

Was starting to wonder how people are disappointed enough to go through the trouble of sticking more lights on. Then I realized, the MY22's come with that mini LED light bar underneath the tailgate handle. It doesn't project out, but as you get closer to things, it lights them up good. I honestly didn't expect that to help with reversing but it totally does.
