I can finally see coming and going now

So I put Hella 500 off-road lights on the front of the truck. I wasn't happy about the headlights being brighter than the off-road lights so I upgraded the hella's with KC 100w bulbs. I also upgraded the truck's factory fog lights with Philips 45w bulbs. I been content with all this extra lighting on the front.

Backing the truck up in the dark is a different story, the stock reverse lights are simply inadequate. Most guys will swap these bulbs out with something brighter and I'm planning on doing the same but I also want something to light up the rear so I can see while hooking up to a trailer. My solution was to take a set of white strobe lights that had a steady burn mode and mount them to the bottom of the receiver hitch cross beam using angle iron as brackets.

I used a rocker fog light switch from a earlier model Toyota and mounted it to a empty slot on the dash. Wire was ran from the auxiliary fuse box into the cab and then out under the seat to the rear of the truck. Since these were strobe lights they had two extra wires, one to sync the two together and one to set the flash pattern. I laughed to myself the first time I turned the switch on to test everything. I had a disco party going on behind my truck. Once I had everything wired properly I wrapped everything up wire wire loom and electrical tape.
