Message: [QUOTE="MorganM, post: 1465672, member: 10386"] Worked on this project for several months(involving another PSA member) with an objective to improve back-up lighting without drilling holes in the bumper or hanging lights off the trailer hitch. Our truck beds have pre-drilled holes to mount a marker light below the tailgate just above the license plate so after some measuring and template work, I have a bracket that attaches to the bed and accepts a thin LED bar. It's tight, but it fits perfectly under the tailgate with zero interference. Requires no drilling and there are a few LED options, but they're all less than $50. In fact, I'm using one that's assembled in the USA and costs about $30.

It's been installed for about 8 months and has worked very well- no problems. I have an extra bracket that was an earlier prototype that doesn't perfectly align to the holes in the bed. It can be made to work and I'm happy to send it to anyone that wants it. Need about $75 to cover my costs and shipping. It's 11 guage stainless steel. [/QUOTE]
