I got fed up with the anemic quality of the stock reverse lights - especially with how often I am backing a trailer on my service drive at night or hitching before the sun is up. I wired these independently of the reverse so I can flip them on to hitch while in park or warn aggressive tailgaters on the highway.
Help with Auxilary Back up Lights
Total cost was less then $50 as I had to buy additional wiring to make the run from the battery and dashboard back to the lights on my hitch frame. Not sure how long they will last but I love them and if they burn out I can get another set from Autozone for around $35. I bought my BAJA lights several years ago for around $20 but they have since gone up in price. They make backing out of parking spaces at night a lot safer as cars that would otherwise force their way past me now give me ample time and room to get out of my parking space. Backing the trailer up the service drive at night is so much easier when I am not doing it by feel and can actually see where the damn thing is back there in relation to the trees and the ravine.
There are a ton of different ways to go about putting in auxiliary back up lights on your truck - this was cheap as I already had the lights from a former project. I hope this helps you to get some ideas for your application.
