My 07x2 did not come with the rear backup light option. It looks like there is a socket in the rear tail light without a bulb in it. Does anyone know if lights can be added here? Is there an extra wire to that socket that can be tapped into somewhere upfront to swith the rear work lights seperately. Sure would be nice to have.

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks Cscotter

 

This topic was covered many times........Yes it can be done..........If you do a search for rear work lights .........The wiring is there and you just need a switch and two bulbs...........Caper..........

 

I recall seeing topics on this too. But when I search rear worklight it only pulls up a few posts some on aftermarket exterior mounted accesories. Is there a better way to search, that I havent found {still exploring this site, seems like the best one out there]

 

I just tried a search on..."Install work lights"
And two pages came up ................................Caper....

Note........Type this into the search category

 

the bulbs are sylvania 912 or 921, 921's are brighter
I'll post back when I find the link, I can't rember the details, they are very nice though

 

sorry its been so long, but I can't rember how I did it, just look at the wires coming out of the tailight socket, and hook them up to a switch of some sort,I used a toggle switch with a rubber boot/nut to make it somewhat water proof from napa

let me know if you need more info and I can check mine out

 

my 08 was the same way but it was prewired for the switch(in headlight pod) and lights.you can get the kit(2 lights and a switch) from the dealer for about 25$ or do it yourselfwith after market stuff.the oem switch has a nice headlight pic on it.
