    Back up lights.

    Came across this site today. These backup lights mount to the trailer hitch. Looks pretty good.http://www.whitenight.com/products.htm

    g3man: I did not install these lights myself, but had the done at the dealer. But, if you have trailer brakes, you could tap into the the wire from the back-up lights that deactivate your trailer brakes when you put the truck into reverse.

    If your trailer/boat is like mine, the lights on the truck bumper won't do much, cuz the rig is too wide.

    I ended up putting some LEDs on the trailer, and they are almost too bright (same as a 55w headlight).

    I'm gonna wire in a kill switch so I can tunr them off even when in reverse so I dont blind the guy next to me when backing down the ramp.

    My 20 foot Ranger is pretty wide, too. But, I angle the lights under my rear bumper outward about 35 degrees. This way, they light up the ramp just fine...especially the curbs on the edge of the ramp that I don't want to hit.

    What I have is a 2006 tundra with a 7 pin plug. My boat only has a 4 pin jack. I use a adapter to put them together. I wasn't sure if I could splice into my trucks plug, or just splice into my reverse light wires. Alot of the ramps I use have no lights for the ramp, not even street lights. We aren't as fancy as you Newport News guy's ramps. LOL. Just joking. lived in Newport News for about 30 years. Denbigh boy.
