cheap reverse lights DIY

well after many times reversing up the drive way with only the standard light on the troll i decided to fix the problem of not having enough light, after a couple of set ups and not having much money me and my old man came up with this solution to the problem all we did was get some cable joined it to the revrse cable drilled in 2 small 55 wat lights at the back and wammo problem solved, i know there are better ways out there but this is cheap and does the job fine for me .

very nice, are they mounted inline with the tow bar? looks good, but its a tiny pic

nice idea Tim, any chance you can load up a larger pic, I need my x10 magnifying glass to see this one!!!!!! lol

all i did was drill into the tow bar rail and self tapped some metal screws inhttp://i971.photobucket.com/albums/a...f/DSCF2149.jpg

ahhh there ya go, heaps better, if you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost ya???

very good, love the doubling up, and heaps easier than having to manufacture somthing to come up off the spare typre mount

all up it costed me 30 bucks for a cheap set of 55 watt lights from supa cheap and i already had the cable and crimps and heat shrink

bloody bargain mate, gotta be happy with that

Looks neat Timbo,

Not sure , but you might consider putting in a relay from your reverse light wire feed to switch those on mate, your reverse circuit will be small and designed for a single globe of about 5w only. a relay used with the switching circuit from your reverse light will sort it out and cost you next to nothing and very little time or effort. Better to be safe than sorry.

pm Yendor if in doubt. All good bet it makes a MASSIVE Difference!
