boat Launch Backup lights tahoe/yukon
 

here is my first Tahoe Mod remove cover off Z71 roof rack, drill Hole for new light.. Make sure you have a light
that will fit this app.

mount your light and wire

now there is some lights :D , I put them on a switch
but with a relay you could put them on your backup light
circuit, Dont wire direct to the backup light, Too much current

Looks cool, does it light up alot in a certain area like a headlight, or just lights up the area like a fog light, thanks Jeff

put a couple 50 watt halogens and it lights up the whole ramp :D I would'nt go much higher because the housing is plastic and might melt with 100s

Beat me to it DJ...looks great!! :cool:

Thanks, looks awesome, sometimes I leave before dawn and have to hook up to a trailer, this will come in handy, Jeff

Lights
 

I do the same on my trucks, I was wondering why GM didnt do that as a factory option.

Looks great.

I wire mine though a relay on a switch and a seperate relay through the back up light trailer harness to turn on by reverse lights and by a seperate switch.

Re: Lights
 

thats the way I have it the relay can be tripped by the existing backups or by manual switching it on
wired relay through hot acessory juice so it cannot
be accidently left on and drain battery

If you have any question as to how to wire have a friend
that fully understands auto electric help you

I have a set of fog lights on my bench waiting for a nice weekend to do the same set-up. Which lights did you use? Where did you get the power from?

I had the same lamps they will handle 100w bulbs but don't leave them on for more than 10 minutes or the reflective lens fries.:rolleyes: :)

Are you guy's mounting the lights to the truck or to the housing? I was concerned about how the lights would line up if I hard mounted them to the roof.
I have taken the covers off and at some point Chevy defiantly intended for light to be there. There is the remnants of a mounting bracket and even an adjusting screw to adjust the beam up and down. I searched everywhere, through dealers and aftermarket guy's and no one has them. I even have a customer that builds truck bodies for emergency vehicles (paramedics, ambulance's etc.) and he had nothing that fit. Any ideas or details would be very helpful.

How about this????

In the past I had work lights mounted on a toolbox in the bed of my truck, a nice "friendly" police officer told me to cover or remove those lights or I would get a ticket. So check the law in your state about rear facing white lights.

They cannot do anything if they are off , besides mine are not noticeable.

I see Tractor trailers with pairs of backfiring lights
and they have been know to turn them on, if you forget to dim your high beam

OHH, So these rear facing lights are for loading and unloading boats, Sleds, ATV's and the such.....Damn , I thought they were for blinding the A-hole that leaves his high beams on!!!;)

that is a nice feature......

here is the new site. any comments?
