What the hell do you need a headache rack for anyway? You dont carry around a bunch of ladders or pipe around...

I do haul wood. When I'm not looking I have hit it a few times. So far it has paid for it self. It costed me all of 300 dollars.

Don't get LED reverse lights. Put a light under your bumper or in the rack somewhere. LED's are VERY bright straight on, but they don't radiate light like a standard bulb does, because the reflector is so small and focused. The field of distribution is far smaller.

TT's have been running LED Dust lights for a while now and everyone hates them because they are about as bright as a pair of tail lights. Not what you want when doing 60+ In the dark!

waste of time and money to mount back-up lights on you back rack... maybe some work (flood) lights would be better... save your money for something else

any pics of your lights mounted up?.. I know it's been a while and this thread is really old.. but I'm going to be building a headache rack this winter along with a new center console for my new truck... trying to get some ideas on light placement... I no have a rear slider as well and don't want to block it...
