I'm thinking of running some reverse lights, but having them double as dust lights too.

Ebay...Hella Optilux 1500 (mine are oval shaped)

I just bought a 30A relay from autozone and tapped into my reverse lights. It works really well. I have my hot wire coming from an aux. fuse block, pretty soon I will wire another aux fuse block to the rear cargo and tap everything in the back from there. I am using a reverse light kit I bought from autozone and just used the brackets for 2 rectangular tractor lights. Instead of the kit you can just get some L brackets from Lowes or Home Depot and mount them to your hitch. Which I will eventually redo.
