Whos got the best reverse light hook up🤔🤔

[Duran]

Wanting to mount reverse lights on my 1500. Whos got the best hook up. Parts name and pics

Nothing done yet, but I was looking into adding some the same way I've added them in the past. Using a 3 way switch, and a relay. With the 3 way, it can be
always on (up pos.)
Off (middle pos.)
On when in reverse (down pos.)

Only when in reverse will it need to be wired thru the relay so it doesn't draw too much power from the reverse light circuit. Might not be a big deal anymore with all of the L.E.D. stuff being low draw... but it was a necessity when it was old school lighting

I believe cutris makes a direct connection via the 7 pin trailer hook up. I was looking to go that route rather then cutting and splicing. Or giving the dealer any reason to void a warranty

A number of us on the forum have used one or two LUYED LED light modules with good success.

The LUYED discussion: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/luyed-led-new-frugal-led-reverse-light.16538/

No matter what you choose for backup lighting, here is a Curt 56584 adapter that keeps you from having to cut into your wiring harness:

This one works really well and use the Curt adapter. https://www.vleds.com/lp-reverse-72-w-5500k.html

Does anyone have any suggestions for a light bar that you mount under the tailgate that can be used for just a Brake light as well as Blinkers?

I added two LED pods under my rear bumper and just tied into the trailer reverse signal. On the off chance I'm backing out of a parking space at night, people will just have to be temporarily blinded if they decide to look right at my lights lol. Rarely do any driving at night but wanted the extra lighting for those few occassions.

What did you do about that bump the new gens have below the tailgate

Back in the good ol days we just mounted the lights on the bottom of the bumper. They were long and slim so it looked better than these square lights that are made now

License Plate Reverse light

Installed my VLEDS LPR. This helps the backup camera immensely at night. Used the Curt wiring harnesses with the 5 pin reverse light connection and it works great. http://www.vleds.com/shop-products/lpr/lpr-reverse-72-w.html...

No issues with mounting.

It's running, brake, turn and reverse. Red and white only. They have red, white and amber too. When I put it in reverse when it's dark, it lights up my driveway and garage. Great for the back up camera.
