Bought a couple flush mount duallies with flood beams for reverse lights, only put one in on the driver side and wire tapped to my reverse light. Turned out awesome! It's a huge help at night

That looks pretty good. I would totally do two of them just for my OCD. My night vision when reversing is horrible so does this drastically increase light?

They are pretty bright. I don't use "real" duallies, but similar ones for various things. Wish there were more flush mount options, they are useful in many situations. Used them for side lights on our new SSL and will be putting two up front for light when boom is up as well. Going to put some side ones on our other SSL's as well. Really nice to have them. Cat engineers were out one day and asked what I'd want in a new SSL, I said better f-in lights, side lights, LED's.... so they put two halogens in front and two in the rear :( Oh well, get to do things my way now.

They wont blow your mind by any means, but they are a nice amount of light in a small package. Make sure you get the proper beam pattern for what you want to do. I use 90s for the stuff I'm doing, the spots do shine further but nothing like the better LED's with 10w emitters do.

I did these last winter.9 Led diodes iirc. They are definitely a huge difference.

Yea I finally got around to putting the other one in. Very nice since my tint is so dark. People definitely know when you're backing up

I installed some in the bumper of my little brothers truck. Generic $80 ebay ones. They are STUPID bright. He has a 50" on the roof too.. No my cup of tea but they are bright as hell and look good on a leveled/lifted truck

I do like the look but I wanted something I didn't need to worry about. I'm always backing into snow piles while plowing

I don't have a spare under the truck. I think they look stupid, especially with larger tires. If I ever travel far I toss a spare in the bed.

Make sense. Maybe I'll take a look and see if the guide can be move up to below the tailgate or make the light pop out.
