Yet another set of rear floods

Just put in some rear floods. Got a set of KC HiLight rears for about 60 bucks from Summit.

Power supply from battery through fuse (here the rear yellow one):





Through relay (looks messy now but other wires being moved!):



Relay controlled by new OEM switch:



Which is sourced off of Painless fuse block:



Relay runs power out to lights. Used stock bracket, which fit perfectly on rear pan if you go towarsd outside edge, where very solid.





These things put out more light than my headlights do!

Yeah I could have but more work. Also, was a bit worried about clearance when dropping tailgate, plus I step up on bumper alot. Finally, the ground clearance is better than it looks from this angle, as I have an OME lift installed.

Good stuff. My stockers are horrible, and only work 10% of the time. If you cleaned up your wiring then it all looks good

You could also mount some round ones under each taillight, in that little pocket. Thats where I mounted mine on my marlin bumper.
