Due to the poor lighting with the LED reverse light, I tried this today and pretty happy with the results. Let me know your thoughts... thanks!

I don't plan on towing and if I have to, then it can be easily removed as I have installed quick disconnect connectors on the wires. The hardest part was drilling the holes to the hitch, took a bit to drill through even with some heavy duty drill bits.

Here is the link to the light. The wire that comes with the light is not long so I added extra just enough to tap into to wire.



Self stripping quick connectors to tap into the back up light wires.

A picture is worth a thousand words but we need a few words to go with the pictures.
Thanks, I will get the details posted today as I was busy yesterday doing this install plus other things around the house.

This is where I tapped into the wires, driver's side rear and the wires were white/light brown and black.
