Tight clearance to open/shut the hood, but it clears

I mounted the dually rear light, but still need to run the wiring. It has the diffused lens.

I drilled the mounting bracket slot to 1/2" to accept the trailer hitch bolt.

I really like the light bar, looks great on the bumper. I've also been considering my options for reverse lighting, specifically LEDs, for my truck. I like what you've got, looks clean and I bet it's bright!
 
Looks great but I'd be a little worried about ripping that dually off on trails.

Can't wait to see the output pics, I've been thinking about getting some LED lights but have trouble wrapping my head around a light that small putting out enough light.
 
I'm not worried about the reverse light on the trail- it's mounted higher than the hitch, which acts as my skid plate on departures. I think it'll be fine. I got the night pics, posting now....
 
I did two "tests" each one going from low beam, low/high beam, and low/high/LED. It's hard to show how much brighter the LED is because the camera readjusts the metering of the photo- but you can tell by the tree trunks that it's throwing a lot more light. Here it goes:

From outside- it's so bright the camera can't take a picture head-on, I had to offset and it still had problems. My eyes still hurt...

Wow that does look good... Hmm I may have to get them after all...

Regarding the reverse light, I just wouldn't want a light that expensive hanging there. I had thinner reverse lights mounted like that on my Z71 (with a much bigger receiver and more in-bound mounting) but still managed to shatter 3 lights before giving up on lights there.

I'm not worried about hurting the reverse light- have you seen this?

Okay, here are the night shots. Doesn't throw very far- I think it's the dispersion lens. But it does give a nice spread of light- it'll be really nice as a work light. Also gives enough light for the back up camera.

Here's my back up camera- it has some night vision so the first is with just factory backup lights, then with the LED.

How does the light look in the mirrors? Does it brighten your view much with the mirrors or just the camera and as you said a work light?

My backup lights are bright where they are focused (even though they're flood pattern) but I think they should cover a wider area.
