Better Reverse Lighting Needed

[Jeff Olson]

I need better reverse lighting on my Grenadier. I can hardly see at night, especially in the rain, when I am backing up into my gravel parking space among trees. I often have to get out of the vehicle and check to make sure I don't smash into something.

I thought about adding a Wolfbox backup camera, but that does not solve the lighting problem, and perhaps the OEM backup camera would be sufficient with more light. Thoughts?

The wolfbox does help but as you get close you will need to switch to the OEM cam. I've been looking at the Owl rear bumper it has built in lights as well.

None of the suppliers, Owl, Agile, Shadownmarq, etc had this solution when I bought my lights this is what I did.

I wired them to the driver's side (US) power point. My only issue is that I haven't quite remembered to turn them off so in the morning my lights will be on when I leave again.

It might not suit, but a simple solution is a light that fits into the trailer hitch and takes the power using a trailer plug.

I fitted an LED work light on the ladder, wired through one of the roof sockets, works brilliantly (pun not intended)

I did install 2 of this https://amzn.eu/d/iAZxziY
lights. One on each side. They work great as working lights and can be adjusted flexible 90 degree so they can be used as reversing lights as well.

We used Leitner Designs chase light brackets with 2 x Baja Designs S2 Sport lights to improve reverse lighting. These are wired through a relay which is triggered whenever reverse is enabled.

I've not seen these on a ride yet in person but do they obstruct the recovery point if say it needs to go up a hill a bit??
