These sorts of lights are not legal for road use, is there a way of adding something to the circuit so you can dim them when reversing whilst on roads? And did you add a relay? If not have you experienced any issues? Is it crucial when wiring to existing circuits to add a relay?

@@khanara6 dont think theres a way to dim them only option would be to get a lower watt light or run the lights to a switch to turn it on and off when u use them. I did not run a relay no need these dont pull alot of power. My lights still work with no problems hope this helps

@@AllThingsCool thanks for taking the time to respond

Thank you for the info!

I have a different style of these same brand light for my reverse lights. You'll have to check your state laws, because they are "off-road" you may not be allowed to wire them to a switch (in case you forget to shut them off). However, I have mine wired to my reverse lights and have never had any issues or trouble with using them as such. I had a leak in one of mine and the customer service from Nilight was fantastic. 10/10 would recommend this brand for the cost and quality.

i agree thanks for the comment

jeremy s sorry i ran the positive wire to the purple reverse wire on my trailer wire harness and just grounded the black wire to the body of the truck hope this helps

I agree with Jeremy! I wanted to see a step x step wiring install of the lights.

Nrfa It's easy as hell all you need is a switch, relay and wire or just run it off the reverse if you don't need work lights.

jeremy s .....he said exactly how he wired it. He ran the “Red” power to the purple trailer hitch wire and grounded them both separately. Fairly easy if you are familiar with wiring. If you want to run a control switch to switch on/off whenever then you should buy a relay harness from eBay or Amazon which is ideal for led bars or spot lights.

that why I come and see it as well can toy make a video of it

Jose Martin no problem !

Glad it helped ! You won't regret it

I would of did the same, would of been the cleanest way to do it probably, MY truck bumper is pretty beat up already so i didn't really worry about the cuts would luv to build an offroad bumper or buy one prefabbed, thanks for the comment !

Nota big deal.. the frames cover that up. Picky picky. But. Ya. It’s cool that you want to be neat n tidy 😁😁

Mine are still working fine, good investment

thanks

Thanks, glad it helped !

Phil Partin i know exactly what ur saying i usually do that when i use a jig saw to cut something

klc20071989 i like that idea ! Thanks !

helps out a ton when backing up to !!!

they are going too look good on my off road build. i just ordered them i couldnt believe they where only 19 bucks. if i like them ill get another set for the front and run them on a switch.

subbed to check out the build 👍

nice! your gonna love it!

Michael Wittenborn used to have a tacoma luved it the rebels are nice !

Thanks!

Tony Tamez no problem, if this video helped please consider subscribing to me need to hit 1000 by feb 20 or youtube is cutting me, support small channels

Thanks

MJ H great idea! Also useful for those who like to shine their high beams behind ya.

@@PauLo-sk8mt yup haha have done that a couple times. I also have tinted windows and auto nighttime dimming rear and side view mirrors, and these lights let me see everything while backing up

@@mjh5091 that's a great idea. Got a video of how you did it?

@@78ginop Sorry, no video was produced. But got the idea from a car camera set up where they wired the back up camera the same way so it can be turned on when reversing wasn't needed. But I ran a + line from my battery, with a 10 amp inline fuse, to the relay (located near my rear bumper) for constant 12v. I then ran a + line for my on/off switch located inside the cab to my fuse panel and found an open "constant on" port and used a fuse tap connector. Then I ran a + line from the switch and my reverse wire off my towing harness, took those 2 + lines and connected those to two 5 amp diodes, and on the pass through side of the diodes I twisted and connected them together and ran to the switched power port of my relay (which allows me to independently power with the reverse or with my switch). I then took the power supply/out port of my relay and made a 6"+ jumper wire and took the 2 + wires from the lights and used a quad wiring connector to connect those wires. I grounded my relay to the - wire from my towing harness and did the same with the - wires for the lights the same I did for the + side using the quad connector. I also put in usb ports at the same time and used the - wire from my cigarette lighter to ground both the switch and usb ports. My goal was for it to look professional and to take safety precautions and so far so good. You can easily do this without the relay and just use inline fuses, but a relay isn't that much and just add extra safety to the wiring system. If this is confusing, I'd agree with you

Mr Nobody329 thanks!

Glad it helped

Thomas Petze glad i was able to help .

Monti Mitchell thanks for advice!

Yeah I agree maybe just a tad to the sides for better viewing.. You did an awesome job on these 👍👍👍👍👍

Blinderb no problem !

glad it was helpful! good luck!

Thanks

Lol no problem you might want to check this style out to there pretty cool kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8hmf7qptayUln0.html Good luck

WT Force thanks im glad you like them and fyi you wont regret it they help out a great deal at night when backing up!!!

chuck I just dented my rear hatch on my 99 Cherokee while backing up because I couldn't see. $20 a set of these I'm definitely taking this route. Thanks again!

WT Force hey i like the look of the flush mounted better but just to let u know they have some out there like these kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8l3idWWusjVdn0.html Just in case u dont want to cut into ur bumper..

Oh and good luck let me know how it turns out !

Yea ir helps put alot with or without the camera

thanks !

Jose Lacera your welcome and thanks for the comment

Abe Unger everything held up good no rust lightz still work buddy of mine has some ebay ones not the nilight ones and they rusted and a few leds dont work

tc1uscg no issues at all, the lights still work fine. I feel running it to the trailer harness is a better option then tapping into the rear lights. The trailer harness purpose is to run a lights to it where the backup lights might not like the extra load just my thinking

You could for the sake of not drawing to much current on your reverse circuit. Add another relay and use your reverse light wire for your switch wire that turns your auxiliary lights on.

Thanks for the comment and yes its steel

I love the setup

Noah Valdez thanks ! mine still work as new luv the extra light they throw

Yea it helps alot

mari1865 thank you kayla 😉

mari1865 hi maril

Chew tobacco and spit!

No doubt. I quit chewing Red Man so that is not an option anymore.

I call them my F*UK you lights

Glad you liked it!

Dude these helped with my camera alot !!!

NeBoFoRiOn thanks !

Thanks !

Mine is a 2003 I had to cut the radio bezel to get a double din to fit

Thankyou

Thanks

thankyou !

Relays are your friends.

HUERTO EMMANUEL no problem!!

chuck do other video..from lights..fog lights...plese

HUERTO EMMANUEL check it out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJmbn6ZmndrOf4U.html

lol just keep pluggin away man !!

Oleg Vishnevskiy thanks !!

Thanks !

will do that, i was a lil lazy just because its a crappy bumper already lol

I grounded the black wire to the back of bumper and connected the power wire of each to my reverse signal wire on my trailer harness ( for my truck that was purple wire) hope this helps

It's been 3 years and no complaints from anyone including cops. I rather run them this way rather then using a manual switch. It just streamlines the whole install plus how much of a pain would it be to always have to flip a switch everytime you put your vehicle in reverse so you can benefit from the lights you installed shit half the time you would prolly forget.....

I agree if your wanting more light for side mirrors move them out more 👍

@@AllThingsCool enough wire come to reach further out?

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback and support !

Trey Grant thanks

Check behind your bumper for clearance for the light other then that sure you can install these in alot of vehicles home this helps

oh yea !

leds still work fine, no moisture build up and surprisingly the black finish is still in good shape

I have 2, 4 inch on on the front 2 years at beach and still works so nice for 15 dls haja

I've also seen that option on amazon not a bad way to go

@@AllThingsCool That's where I found it, but didn't say the company as it might be a competitor. The only draw back to me is I don't see a theft prevention in removing the lights. Any ideas?

@@clasicradiolover not really due to the design of how the lights just use a bolt and nut to mount the light to the hitch mount.

really? what a michigan person sound like lol

100 % they help the backup camera it's a huge difference

chuck kososky thanks, I’ll definitely be installing a set

I run them on my boat. I take them apart when I get them and Lexel the face and where the wires come out the back. I’m in saltwater, no problems

supperterofsanity lol yea my bumper is pretty beat up but i would still do it even if the bumper was new luv the custom look and really helps the visibility at night when backing up.

Pete Kane i dont have to deal with inspections 😊

I'm happy to say these lights work the same as day one so far no moisture has gotten into them and all light work as they should, really impressed with them for the price

That's what I did. I tapped into the trailer harness though. I know people that tapped into the reverse lights and seemed to work fine also

@@AllThingsCool Thanks. I don't have a trailer harness. But as long as the load doesn't exceed what is being supplied, I think I should be all set. Nice video.

@@livenhfree yea the guy across the street from me did the same install after I did on his Yukon but wired it to his backup lights not trailer and it's been working fine

got rid of the truck a year ago but they were still working fine when I sold it no issues

Nice 👍

Still working good no problems and the finish is also holding up

Thanks Chuck!

@@seanlloyd8534 no problem wish i could attach a pic in comments I'd show you lol
