Rear Lighting Placement Ideas?

[604Bronco]

I just read a post of a member mounting a pair of lights to the trailer hitch, and it got me thinking: What are some other mounting options? Not looking for any aftermarket bumpers or cutting into the factory bumper. Anyone come up with some good ideas? Pictures are helpful too.

Anyone remove the rear tow hooks and mounted there?

Thanks!

Thanks - I had replied to that post last night. It’s definitely a good setup I’m considering. Appreciate it!

This will be a modular mount..left/right bracket. There will be a bar across the back that you can mount lights. The bar will be adjustable in height. And since it will be a bar, you can also adjust the lights closer/further from the spare. The lip on top of the bracket will have holes for GMRS/CB antenna or trail flag..

Love it! I assume you made the brackets yourself? Could also be a good option to mount even some Rigid SR-2’s or something small/discrete. Thanks for sharing this.

I guess you're looking for a new project! I think remember you saying in your build journal that you were not considering a rear light? I know, I know, none of us can be held to anything we say when it comes to mods. I change my mind daily.

Seriously, I will follow this thread as I am also looking for ideas. I always thought I would just drill a hole on the rear bumper and mount a light there (old-school I guess). But I'm always looking for new ideas. I would have never thought of @hollapm idea in his recent thread.

Cheers.

Ha, I do change my mind from time to time. I won’t do it if I can’t come up with a good solution; it’s more of a “nice to have” vs. a must.

I just mounted mine today, used holes in the Curt hitch. I had a piece of aluminum Chanel left over from a bed cover.

That looks great - Discrete, simple - Well done! This is another great contender!

Agreed. Very nice and discreet. Could you please share a zoomed-in photo with a description of your wiring route?
Thanks

The only downside on this setup is the factory tow hitch has the power plugs on the left. I‘m sure something similar could be done, but it’d have to be slightly different.

I’ve got an email out to see how much it’d be to go with the recessed spare tire mounting route. Hopefully it works out!

Yea I'll take another pic tomorrow. I haven't wired it up yet tho. Mounted front and rear today, I'll have to see when I have time to wire them.
Being I don't have tow wiring I have to find where to tap the reverse signal and run to the upfitters

Sorry for snow but you get the idea, they are tied into the reverse light and upfitter switch. Still above recovery hooks . Tied into the reverse circuit inside the passenger quarter panel green and brown wire coming out of tailight , the upfitter switch wire Also inside the same panel, I believe it white and orange.
I wanted them spread out as far as possible for the widest angle possible. If you turn on zone lighting they will also come on.

I like the look of this! Too bad I have the tow hitch there. Would likely look good with just one of these mounted just above that, under the spare tire on top of the bumper. Not sure I want to go that route, but just throwing the idea out there for others who may be looking for options.

Thanks for sharing this!
