    Bailey @Baja Designs What's my best option for a reverse light? My windows are super dark and it's difficult to tell much from my reverse camera due to snow/mud/road grime.

    @Caliraisedled I could use your pov as well.

    Can someone please pitch me and include pics and lumen/spread/distance options? I would rather not cut big holes in my bumper but will for aesthetics if it's going to eliminate ridiculous looking hanging lights.

    My truck: RTT, bedrack, and current setup will stay as is year round (more than likely)

    I've been going to put them in the taillights for running,stop,and turns but haven't yet . I have the reverse,and license plate lights already now putting them inside. Which ones are you running for stop, turn,and running light Zevo or the other ones they make.

    We have a variety of great options that will work. If you want maximum performance a Pair of Squadron Pros in Wide Cornering would be the ticket! We do have the Sport version which will also provide a nice improvement over the factory reverse lighting. And if you don't want the Squadron we have a Lower Profile S2 Series LED Auxiliary Light. Here is some pricing:

    S2 Sport, Wide Cornering (540005) - $109.95
    S2 Pro, Wide Cornering (480005) - $174.95

    Squadron Sport, Wide Cornering (550005) - $119.95
    Squadron Pro, Wide Cornering (490005) - $219.95

    We offer the above lights in singles, pairs, and flush mount applications. Take a look at the following LED Auxiliary Lights:

    I put two rough country black series led's mounted under the rear bumper. I think they are 8400 lumens, they are insanely bright. It was like $200 installed. I had them install a plasmaglow switch so I can turn them on and off at will and not tied to only on when in reverse.20170428_123535.jpg

    Im running Zevo.. on my '15 I just had the regular Sylvania bulbs, but I have Zevo on my '17.. not a huge difference between the two in my opinion, both are super bright

    Those look good but Alma would rip those off wheeling.

    Good idea but I have some squadrons and the rigids already have a home. I'm ditching the ditch lights and want a smaller lamp (if possible)

    I just got a set of Squadrons from you and could potentially be doing so, but I'm thinking S2s might be more of what I'm thinking. Any pros/cons? Are the S2s even close in output?

    The only con of the S2 Series Lights is the reduced output compared to the Squadron Pro or Sport. Here are some differences in Wattage/Lumens between the S2 and Squadron Series:

    S2 Sport - 12W/1130 Lumens
    S2 Pro - 20W/2450 Lumens

    Squadron Sport - 20W/1800 Lumens
    Squadron Pro - 40W/4900 Lumens

    The S2 Sport or S2 Pro are great lights! Since you have dark tinted windows I'd recommend the Pro over the Sport.
