    Side launching light

    Have you ever been launching your boat in the dark and could not see how close to dock you are? I got tired of getting out of truck and checking how close I was so I would not hit and ruin my fiberglass fender. I wanted something that was not to bright as to blind other anglers at tournament. I decided to mount a livewell light to my fender and spliced in to backup light.light.jpg it gives just enough light and does not blind anglers on shore.

    I like that. I have red led light strips under my trailer frame sides and it works great too. It was a secondary bonus.

    I replaced my reverse lights with bright bulbs so I can see behind me while moving. Probably not as eye friendly to everyone else but they turn off as soon as I am done backing and in park. Cost about $20 and as easy as changing a light bulb.

    great idea! May have to do this myself. I could see it being very beneficial backing into a garage too.
