Hitch Mounted Back Up Light

I was "shopping" today and found these lights at Advance Auto. They are made by Pilot and are Hitch Mounted Back Up Lights. They wire to your reverse lights and seem pretty good. Has anyone ever heard/seen them and what do you think. I am looking for something low profile and I don't want to drill into my brand new hitch. These attach via wire ties. Any help would be great. Thanks.



Here is a website that sells those lights:

Looks like those fit your bill.

Lights are lights. It looks like you may want to seal them a bit better, from the pic they don't look very watertight. 55W is enough for normal people.

there are holes right on the bottom of the bumpers(towards edge). you can buy cheapo pairs from Schuck's for like $25 that's what i use. no drilling since bumpers come pre-drilled. you can prolly buy square Hellas or any fog/driving lights there, just put in a relay when you connect them to backup lights. below is pic of it.
