Default Reverse lights

I'm looking to hook up some type of back up light so I can see what I may be hitting. First question is, what's a good light to use, second question is, where to mount such light. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I went with rigid SR.-Q flush mount back up kit. Plasma cut my rear AEV bumper and mounted them. Ran to my sPod. Great lights. If you go this route, Northridge has best price. Just send them a PM
I deleted the pics from my phone but posted them under the build thread under special tribute build. Good luck!

This is what I did with mine. Blitzpro 6" lights sunk into the bumper. Wired directly to the reverse circuit.

Slightly overkill, but... Rigid SRM flush mounts in the tails and 10" LifetimeLED single row flood on rear bumper. All come on in reverse.

I did a write up on the Rigid SRMs a while back in the write up section here. Definitely one of my favorite lighting upgrades to date.

Made a bracket to attach to tire carrier. The dually floods do the trick - work great when backing up my trailer down my long dark alley behind my house. Hooked up to spod
