Anyone with this bumper want to chime in about the rear back up lights install? saw somewhere that i need relay? ect...Never played with relays, maybe some insite in to how you did yours up would help..
Also the lights from PSC...they just sit in there? or did you hook up some type of bracket?..maybe a little RTV around the rim would keep it in there..havent test fitted them yet, so not sure how well they sit in the mount/hole ..

As far as hook up, you can simply wire them into the factory back up lights. The amount of amps that they draw is extremely low. You wont have any problems. Atleast, I dont. The lights sit in the hole of the bumper because of the rubber lip that is on the light. There is no problem with them falling out. I think that RTV would be over kill, but it wouldnt hurt it. If you need anymore help with the install, just shoot me a PM. I would be glad to help.

Ok great guys thanks for the advice, i think i will just wire them up then to the factory back up lights and go from there. Will post up how it goes...still need to fittle with the bumper hitting the body on the driver side. I think it was posted on page 4 or 5 on this tread. He cut his but i think i can just give it a tap or two and bend the body up in that area. anyone else tried this to fix the body flexing and hitting the bumper mount? I just think a little denting is better then cutting....

When I started this thread I thought I wanted the PS tire carrier and all and ended up with the posion Spyder BFH instead and going with the Tera Flex reinforcement tailgate bracket and support system to handle a 37 tire

I guess I wanted a Less look. I ended up removing my entire rear cross member and in process of putting in a 1 x 4 piece of metal with integrated receiver hitch
Then I will be putting on the new Tera Flex rear support plating and put on my 38 on the back
