    Best way to add them is with these tail lights. http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread....ht=back+lights

    Just run a wire from the brake solenoid to the rear...

    I installed these on my trailer. They put out decent light for seeing the edge of the ramp and to let others know you are backing up but they don't throw a ton of light. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-6-Oval-LE...s/301841106791

    It looks like the ones 21XDC posted put out more light though and if I had known about them when I installed mine (April 2018) I probably would have gone with those. Here are the cheapest I've found the ones he posted. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Oval-Trux-D...s/274056355432

    Now I'm thinking about changing mine out. Does anyone have pictures of the Trux lights lit up?

    I just preferred these as there are no extra holes and drilling,or brackets needed. Looks stock and does a pretty good job.

    Do you have a picture that shows how much light they put out? After seeing those I'm thinking about swapping my Optronics lights with built in backup for those because they look like they should be brighter.
