Auxiliary Reverse Light Question: What do you recommend?

[jbmccul]

I'm planning to add some reverse lights to the back of my 4Runner. Currently, I have a Thule fit kit with 2 Fork-mount bike racks on my factory rack. I have 15" of space between the 2 bike mounts and was planning on mounting 2 6" Blitzpro LED bars between them. However, I can't seem to get a straight answer on whether or not they are on backorder or not and would like to have them for my trip at the end of the month.

Does anyone have a phone number for BlitzPro or suggestions for any other brands I can install instead?

do you have a spoiler? if so that kills most useful reverse light from the roof.

 

[jbmccul]

No, I have one of the few Sport Editions with no spoiler and no factory tow.

Might work then, you just don't want the rear of the body (or a spoiler if you'd had one) to act as a 'cut-off' and keep the lights from lighting the ground up behind you.

With the lights I've had on my roof in the past, the light wouldn't shine where I needed it at all. But I also have a spoiler.

Just saw on their website the lights I want are back-ordered til the 21st

Rigid Duallys

Rigid also has 4" & 6" bars:

They also have short single rows for shallow mount heights:

They also make these. This is what I was thinking of using myself. They'd fit almost anywhere:

Only problem with the Rigid's is price.

Never thought about tractor lights, but in that location I'd rip them off wheeling

Check out Totron or Hanma (I believe same company). They make light bars and such a bit cheaper. Yeah, it's Chinese and they are probably not near the quality of the Rigids, but how durable do they really need to be as reverse lights on the back of a rack...as long as they are waterproof? Definitely the budget minded option. Looked into them myself before I found the really small ones at Rigid.

I looked on hanma's site but I don't see a place to order them. Maybe I'm blind

I don't think you can order direct from Hanma unless you plan to place a large order.

You have to use retailers like TWF or group buys (like the one I hope to do in January)

Maybe I'll just save my $$$ and get that lightbar on the group buy
