I have a question
I am plowing this year again and I saw online a spotlight that goes into your trailer receiver on the truck and hooks up to the four wire plug that comes off the truck and then when you go in reverse it lights up and leads teh way much like a headlight and then when you are done you just take it off. I am thinking much better than bolting lights to the Bumper as I really do not want to do that.

Has anybody actually seen this unit in action or use it, seems pretty simple mechanically and that it would work for a while? I have not see it in stores yet, I think I saw it on ebay
Thanks

HI AC2717,

I have never seen one of those units but it sure sounds like a handy idea..

For the spot light to go on in reverse you need a five wire connector that includes the back up light signal. This is used in a surge brake system to release the brake when backing up.
