Rear Auxiliary lighting
I want a little more light out back at night.

Is there any way to get more light out back? How are you doing so? I thought about the roof rack, but I have the Spoiler.

I’ve seen a gaterose mod the lower red reflector lenses (on 03-05) with a 2x2 LED lamp. I like this, but I was hoping to get the lights a little more higher up.

X2. Something for throwing flood downward and backward for hitching a trailer in the dark, etc. There isn't really an obvious place to stick one higher up with an air deflector in place.

With the stock roof rack there really isn't that many options, unless you drilled and mounted it to your spoiler. I have a 2 pair of 2x6 Hanma lights on the rear of my Whitson Metalworks rack. 2 for reverse lighting and two for dust lights.

I give you the anti-tailgate light.
It's not finished and I will be adding a second one with a write up, but just an idea.

I think zak's idea and mine are about as good as it gets without having a bumper or drilling the hatch.

The roof is ok if you don't have a spoiler. But if you have a spoiler, it will block everything for about 5-10 ft.

This is what I did. And it's pretty simple to wire up through your hitch wiring. They also only draw 2amps so the circuit can handle them without using a relay.
