Southern Maryland.
Got these from tractor-supply. Fabricated mounting brackets from thin stainless steel and they are hard-wired to the trailer harness.
They put out plenty of light but the beam-width is little too narrow unfortunately.

I like that clean setup. But the link to the lights is broken

I checked this out a bit more the other night and RBRK may be right...it may be the camera. The reverse lights aren't ideal in their design; they're on an arc that blocks light to the center area behind the truck. That said, they seem to put out enough light to see. The camera simply doesn't pick up the light at night. Significant downgrade from the camera image in my '14.
I feel blind compared to my 2017 Longhorn which I just traded in for the Limited.
