Mine are mounted on an extendible painters pole which is in turn mounted to my tire carrier. I should try and get a picture. Works out pretty well.

I mounted rear facing driving lights to my existing stock pod tail lights. They work great both for lighting up a campsite and tailgaters. :coffeedrink:

Not sure that I have pictures...

They are independant of the backup circuit

They don't fit in all bumpers but the standard 4.5" trailer light grommet and 4" headlight bulb fit perfectly in mine.

So what you should do is mount them up on the hard top. Then make a plug that you can easily unplug them when you take the top off. Then you put a second set on the rollbar using straps. When you take the top off loosen the straps and rotate them around to where they will work. Then plug them into the same place the hard top lights previously were plugged into.

When I mention rotating the lights, that could even mean so that they point out of the rear window of your soft top if you use one.

Just a thought.

Cheers

I don't have a roll bar. The only reason I'm putting lights on the back is beacuse I got them for free but I think I'm going to buy a set that fits between the rear bumper and tailgate

Shoot, you're kidding?! That's almost the type of setup I wanted to do. I couldn't find decent reverse lights from a trailer shop. I ended up just using crappy oblong whites. All they are good for is signalling reverse. If I want to actually see, I have to use my work lights. Another part of my problem was I fit them into a 2x4 steel beam which is my tire carrier. So 4" would be too big anyway.
