Thanks Mel... especially for the tip for running the wires (I.E. through the e
brake hole). I find the hardest part of wiring something up is finding a way
into the cab without drilling a hole. I'm gonna try to mount some lights using
big ole screw down hose clamps to the receiver hitch. You shouldn't be able to
see the clamps once the lights are mounted.
Thanks again.
Tom

Tom,
The lights in the back are KC lights. They measure 2 1/2" X 6". After I tinted
my
back window and put the tonneau cover on I wanted some extra light to see with.
I
first mounted them with the supplied bracket & double sided tape to the hitch. A
fter
I got rearended by a van going 50+mph, the body shop drilled holes in the hitch,
took off the bracket, and permanently mounted the lights to the hitch. The light
s
also came with orange lens for fog lights if you mount them up front. I ran the
wires next to the frame up under the cab, and took them through the same hole th
e
emergency brake cable goes through. I then mounted a toggle switch up under the
dash. They work great for backing up, and for hooking up my trailer in the dark
.
