So long story short after some issues here and there i ended up with 2 additional baja design sport fog lights. Now i already fitted the sae version into my fog lights spot and wondering what other possible set up i can do with these extra ones. I dont mind selling them but it seems like a hassle lol. Any suggestion ?
 
Sell 'em to me for a low price lol or mount them on the hood or use them as reverse lights?
 
Yup, I'd mount them on the back for reverse lights. The reverse lights on these are pretty weak, especially if you add tint over the factory windows (which I did). I put a set of lights on the back of mine wired to a separate switch rather than linking to the reverse lights. I figured there was no point in blinding people behind me when I didn't need to, nor to have them turn on during the day. Pretty easy process, and you've already got half the parts needed.
 
Mounting them via reverse lights seems like the way id go, honestly didnt even think of that. I do have 5% tint.. that would actually be mad helpful. Can i see your setup? @Shots
 
Absolutely. I can't find any photos of them on my computer, but I'm heading out to the store soon. I'll get some photos while I'm out. My truck is in the garage and it barely fits. I tried to squeezed between the truck and the wall to get a few but they were a bit tough to make out. I should have them up tonight for you.
 
Okay, the truck is dirty but here's a few pictures of my set-up.

A light mounted near each exhaust pipe. I've got them turned slightly outward so they light up more area while backing. Otherwise they match up with the lines of the truck pretty well.

They are mounted on brackets that secure to the hitch tube. Super cheap on Amazon, but worked great. I noticed while taking photos the the fasteners are rusted on the lights but the bracket's fasteners are still good. I guess that means the bracket hardware is stainless.

The switch box is wired to the fuse panel under the dash. I made a bracket to clamp it to the side pocket of the center console so I didn't have to drill holes anywhere.
I've got the reverse lights wired to one switch and two of the others will be wired to some additional lights once my headache rack arrives. That'll leave me with three switches to play with in the future.
