Re: Backup lights, beepers, camera, etc

Here are the pics, the brightest one is from slightly off center in the rear. I took one head on bit it was nothing but a big ol halo of white light

Thanks for the pics. Those are very little and very bright. I like the fact that they are pointed slightly down.

Definately like the back up lights HiRMKin posted which is close to what I was looking for originaly I wanted to paint the outer bezle body color but in the end I settled on the ones I posted, the small back up camera is very cool especialy since it displays on the stereo and doesnt stick out like a sore thumb.

FYI: When I did my search I looked for "12v motorcycle fog lights/ back up lights"

Re: Backup lights, beepers, camera, etc

Is the photo lit completely by the lights (room lights off and dark)? If so they put out a lot of light. If not I would like to see a photo of how much they light behind the truck.

The pic was with all the shop lights on (10x 2 tube 4' florecents) unfortunately I only had my cell phone (10mp) I tried with 1/2 the lights off but it ended up too bright for a decent image and the shot looked like an oncoming train . They are pretty darn bright though, from the ad they can be used for motocycle fog lights on a croch rocket.

Re: Backup lights, beepers, camera, etc

I was thinking more of a shot from the bed showing how far behind the truck was lit up.

I'll see I can get one like that. Should be late friday or Sat or so before I can get the pic..... Maybe clean the shop a bit too so its not lighting up the junk in the background

Well, I took this one from inside the box. the door is about 6' away from the back, drill is just for scale since everything in the background is white, shop lights off/ pitch black and no flash on the camera
