Default Putting off roading lights on bed rails....anyone done this?

So I am trying to think of a cool way to have some extra light on the back of my truck for when im unloading the boat or getting my hunting gear out at night. What I am thinking of doing is rigging up some type of lighting system on the bed rails of my truck, using off roading lights that can swivel or just an 180. I dont think it will be hard to do but i just wanted to know if anyone had done this or had a better idea then me?

Never seen it done, but it would be easy enough to do. I just use one that I fabb'd up to slide in the receiver hitch, often thought about mounting one on my toolbox, but never the side rails...

Friend of mine has em hanging off brackets in the front corners by the side rails. A setup where they'd sit in the stake pockets and be removable would be cool

this is one way to add lights. many plow drivers use these seasonally.



i am sure you could find a way to add your light.


here is my truck with some PIAA's
