Default EVO Rear Corners- Reverse Lights???

Up in the air about what to do for reverse lights. I don't run the EVO tire carrier so I can slap them underneath the tail lights

I have poison spyder 2.5 inch reverse lights.. but something tells me I don't have the tools or technique to drill through that thick ass steel with my hole saw. Was thinking about taking it to a machine/welding shop to have them do it.

But, any thoughts on cheap aux. lighting that I could grab? Rigid duallys are out of the budget.... Any ideas?

you can wire up any basic small fog light to be turned on via the reverse light wiring.

Would I be able to use 55wat lamps? Not sure what the reverse lights use, and I don't feel like wiring a relay.

I know led lamps will work, but I was thinking about getting something like this KC HiLiTES 517 - KC Back-Up Light Kit - Quadratec or something from an auto shop and just trying to wire it to the reverse lights

Mounted quad flood LED's on top of the brake light housings. Using a rocker switch on the dash for control. Don't really need the LED's to light up all the time when reversing and now can use when stopped and camping if needed. $40.00 lights from Truck and Winch, added dual control harness that reaches from front to back for $20 more.
