probably right casa loca....
although I don't think these are headlights really..... maybe for an ATV
but I did want a lot of light. I have had a few occasions now backing into unfamiliar sites..... trees and such can be sneaky and you have to watch for them....

I put them on the back corners not facing out the back but rather facing out the corner so I can see the sides also. They are super bright. My nightvision camera was very poor also but even with the lights turned to the side a bit the extra light was more then enough to put a clear picture in the center screen.
I just got a new rv and will be doing it a little different. When I mounted mine they were out the back and had a huge beam that went on a long ways. Far longer they was needed and I felt horrible backing into a site and blinding everyone around. I will be mounting them up a bit higher up underneath and aiming down in the back so the light doesn't shine out as high and far. It will still be plenty of light and would only bother the neighbors not the whole park. I also am going to put them out the sides and front so I can see all around. Kind of like extremely bright ground effect lights. They also need to be on their own switch. Power likely wont be a problem using the existing backup wires but for instance if you back in to a site and have to pull forward to re adjust you are not only looking forward but out the back also to see where you are so you still will want the lights on. |
Thanks Gentlebrian. I was toying with the idea myself of installing them under the bumper someplace if I can find a good spot, for just the reason you mentioned. Maybe if I could find a spot between the bumper and the rear tires..... unfortunately I don't have much structure in that area.... I have not yet had a chance to get back to my RV to look it over.
When you wired yours, do you tap into the existing reverse lights, use a relay, or use a separate switch?
I'm not so much worried about the other areas for me.... just really want to light the roughly 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock zone, so i'm figuring pointing these out to roughly 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock should do nicely.... just enough to light up straigh back and also light the area I am trying to turn towards.....
