Anyone added an auxiliary reverse light/s?

not needed form off road but just for better illumination in general reversing.

thanks.

I did. I installed blacked out tail lights and the backup lights were so dim, I wanted to add something else. I installed these and plug them into the 7-pin trailer harness. They go on when I put it into reverse.

Yes I've added reverse lights. I wired them into one of my Aux switches. No need to use them during the day, or if I'm in an illuminated parking lot (or into my garage). I only hit the button if I'm backing at night and can't see.
No need to buy some super expensive set either. I bought a cheap set of Amazon ($15 Nitlight LED's). A lot of people talk about all these long lasting lights and their quality/durability. My cheap lights have been working fine for a year and I could replace them multiple times if I had to before the cost of the expensive lights.
I typically wouldn't recommend cheap lighting, but keep in mind these are being used as reverse lights so they're not on that often. It will take a very long time for them to fail due to fatigue.

Before, you get more light from the brakes:

After, you can actually see (they've been aimed up and outward a bit since this image to give more visibility):

This is what they look like (I've got one on the other side too):

They come with a harness but my garage had to wire them to a connector for the trailer plug.

If you dont mind can you post a pic of how well it mounts. Almost all the reviews say they don't fit this or that receiver. Id like something removable and cheap like this until I figure out what I'm doing with my rear bumper
