Found these in my Cabelas catalog today after a friend of mine installed them on his truck. They are great! My wife is heading to Florida for about 10 days the first of the month so it will be a good time for me to pull out hte credit card Mike PS Check these out, click on the small pic and you will get a big picture. Cheap too! $29.99 including brackets and wireing. Can be wired to work with your reverse or to a seperate switch.

There are 55w bulbs available too. That will work very well also.

They dont work on 01' up Tacomas.

Yes they do!

Your right about the backup lights. They suck especially looking through the tinted cab and shell.

 

[Chadman]

Yes they do!

My bad, I didn't know there where some available for the 01' up tacos. Where doyou get them?

Go to the Cabelas web site and then to automotive and you will find them. They fit on any trailer hitch and can be wired for the reverse on your truck or they can be wired with a switch. Mike

I believe chadman is refering to stock bulb replacements not wiring a whole new light.

But are they waterproof?

 

[Mike-in-WV]

Don't know if they are water proof or not and that's a good question. It's hard to believe that they would sell lights to be mounted under the truck on a hitch unless they were water proof. On second thought you never know today . Cabelas are really great about backing there products or returning your money. Been dealing with them for many years and never had a problem. Mike

I put some in my 95 a long time ago and they didn't seem to do much.

Just get a Hella worklamp, it's only $13. It's water resistant and they are 55 watts, they light up a lot behind you. You can get some stainless steel hoseclamps and mount it to your trailer hitch underneath. I left mine a little loose, so if it gets hit by something it will move.

Go to http://www.rallylights.com/hella/rubber_worklamps.asp They have awesome deals and the owner is great to deal with. You can also learn to hook them up there.

I wired a relay into my back-up light switch on the tranny, so mine come on w/ the back-up lights. Also I have a switch where I can put them on from the cab for setting up camp or letting someone driving behind you to turn off their high beams ...

Oh I now have some additional lamps mounted inside my rear bumper for back-up use. However, I do have four of the Hella utility lamps you mentioned as part of my rock light setup.
