LED Backup Light

[doulos]

Pretty simple and inexpensive modification. I added an LEN light to the back of the trailer for night time backing. $18 for the light. I ran the power to the battery box and have a weatherproof switch there. Simple install but darn handy!

Can not see your pics.
But I did it as well $15.00 off Amazon. Ran power wire to front and hooked to reverse light. You do loose sewer hose storage in rear bumper though with my install.

Sorry... I'm trying to get the pics attached.

GOT IT!

Do you both have cameras on the back of your trailers? The only reason I ask is because I still couldn't see anything with the lights mounted behind the back wall.

I installed my lights near the front of the trailer so it shines all the way down the side. This way, when I back up, I can see all obstacles, not just the ones directly behind me.

Yes I have a camera. And the lights on the back make a world of difference.
Back up camera no lights at night.


With the lights on.

Yes they do. That's fantastic.

Yup, I have a camera too and the light is perfect for it. No need for side lights. Also, the light isn't so bright that it blows the neighbors out of their camps!

Mine has a combination of flood LEDs and spot LEDs.

I have a manual switch so I can turn them off when I have close neighbors. Nothing’s worse than bright lights when you’re having a campfire.
