    Default Back up led light?

    Looking for a small, adjustable, slim led light to mount on the back underneath the bed of my Polaris ranger. This light will only turn on when the ranger is in reverse. Ideal size would be 2x4”. Thoughts or ideas, not looking for cube light.
    Thanks

    seems overthought....can you use two of these cubes?.....would give you the ability to shift the light where you need it......a switch in the cab is going to be something you wish you'd done


    or one of the many slim bars

    I may end up going the route with a single small light bar to shine between the bed and the back bumper. The Polaris ranger 1000 xp 2018 and up already have a wired plug underneath the bed of the ranger that is wired in to the reverse already from the factory. It was initially put there in order to add a reverse buzze for job site type use. I have ordered the other end of the plug off of eBay for $13 and plan on adding a reverse light in place of a buzzer.

    I mounted these on the roof of my gator and they work great. The roof has recesses built for aftermarket lights on each corner so that's why I put them there, but I'd think you could mount them pretty much anywhere. They are every bright and have held up well

    The person I bought my ranger from added two cheap round led lights to the roll bar facing backwards and wired to a switch. I thought about changing them to nicer (brighter) ones, but they actually put out plenty of light to see in the bed or backup and turn around. I like that they not only light up behind me but also light up the bed so I can make sure nothing falls out if I'm riding somewhere in the dark, this is why I would recommend wiring to a switch and not having them come on only in reverse. This was the only picture I had on hand but you can see the light on the right side, same thing is on the left.

    These cubes were pretty cheap and came from eBay. Damn bright and have held up to all the vibrations and moisture just fine.

    Those are the rectangular ones on the front, the square cubes are on the back in the same place. They make the roosters start crowing when I turn em on. Bright AF

    Look at the Silverado with the LBZ power plant in the background.
