Default Headache rack adding lights

So I'm tired of just my light bar on my headache rack and wanted to add some lights such as break and revers lights. I know the revers lights wont do much good but its better to have something else throwing light back there than nothing.

I was thinking of adding a few small pices of steel to them so I can mount them.

I'm more looking for what kinda of lights to use. Something small and flush mount would be nice and led as well. I'm pretty clue less on this one and have been kicking around the idea for a long time since it would be pretty cheap.

This is what it looks like now.

I'm not cutting into it. Its not an option.

Get me a good picture of the rack on your truck, and a pic of the lights that you want to use and I'll chop them in for ya, so you can get an idea of what they will look like.

All of those type of lights need pigtails. I can pick up 2 pigtails at NAPA for $4. Plus if you bought that rack with the lights already in it, it probably came with them anyway.

They don't sell them with lights and I don't like the other style of racks. There to beefy.

Plush shipping for TX would have killed me.
