Default cut some backup lights into my bumper...

yaa had a few hours so went ahead and did it. had to test out my new grinder...

haven't driven the truck with them yet, but i like them already. they are extremely well mounted, no chance of them moving. they are regular high beam sealed beam headlight replacements that i picked up from walmart for like $6 each. because of the curve in the bumper they aim down slightly, but with a little mod they could aim straight back and becomes some sweet blindingly bright f^$%-you lights.

pictures dont show how bright they are...well just picture some high beam headlights, and you'll get the idea. total cost? roughly $12... and once they muddy they'll blend in better

I was thinking of doing that same thing with mine. I finially raised my bumper so they were on the top, but I had to mave them because when the tail gates goes down they'd get crushed. I ended up putting them under the bumper and above the hitch.

What'd you use to cut through?

I didn't know you had a paint job under all that mud .
I always thought your truck must be tan or brown .
Who knew it was green.
