Reverse Lights Mounted to Camelback Metal Gear Rack

[Royal 7]

I could really use some suggestions for lights that I would mount to my [MENTION=68079]drabbits[/MENTION] rack. I would like to use the lights for reverse lights but also for flood lighting. The best case scenario would be that they mount between the upper and lower runners of the rack or at least recess far enough into that space to open the tailgate. I do not plan to put a ladder on, so there is no worry with that.

Here is what I am considering now:
Option #1 - (2) Rigid SR White Combo 6" - Most Expensive but low profile
Option #2 - (2) Vision X Optimus Flood - Expensive but would match the light cannons on the front
Option #3 - (2) Rigid Dually Flood - Least Expensive of the bunch

If there are any lower cost options of an excellent product that I haven't found, I'd like some suggestions.

While I can appreciate your affinity for higher quality lights, I don't think there is a necessity. Especially for lights that will be used a fraction of the time, respectively. I'm personally running a pair of 6" SR floods on the back of my Gobi. I find that I don't use them nearly enough to justify the cost.

I would recommend going with the SRM or SRM2s (for brighter output). They are less expensive and you could realistically get away with just buying one. Go for a pair if you like the symmetry. They will also be lower profile so you wouldn't have to deal with something else taller than the rack. I actually ended up with a pair of SRM2 flush mounted into my factory bumper. I find that I use those waaaaaaaaay more than I do the 6"SRs. The SRM2s in my bumper are actually wired with the reverse lights so I don't have to worry about running wires for a switch to turn them on. The 6"SR floods on my roof rack are wired separately from those. So, if I need more light (setting up camp, tailgating, etc.) I can just turn them on.

I think the rigid dually's would work well, i actually have a set collecting dust in my garage that ive thought about mounting on the back of my rack. They spread light but i had them on the front in my lower grill before switching to amber spots and an SR20. I agree with [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] dont spend a lot.

I have two Dually diffuse lights on the back of my rack, they are great for backing up or when running my camp kitchen at night. Also have the red covers, so if out in really bad weather with poor visibility I can turn them on to warn vehicles coming up behind me that I am there. Used them in a blizzard over Christmas.

Rack Mount Reverse Light Wiring

Thank you for the replies. I will keep the cost of the lights down. Does anyone have any photos of how they routed the wires down the inside of the tailgate hatch frame and into a weatherproof area? I know there some blank fillers I could utilize to get into the interior of the truck, but want to make sure it is absolutely raintight.
