Hey ya'll! Okay so we all know that the back up lights on the Liberty aren't exactly what you'd call flood lights... so I've been trying to think of what I can use to add some extra UMPH (I'm making it a word!) to the reverse lights. So if you have done this modification, I'd really appreciate some pictures and perhaps a lil explanation on how you did it and how well its working for ya!!! Thanks in advance and happy new year!!!

The back up lights are useless for me. I can't see anything behind me, they dont really work. |

Or you can add a Renegade light bar facing the opposite direction

I am working on something right now for the hitch reciever, and currently have a Japanese vehicle "fog light" behind the rear spare. After work today (tonight) I will try to get some photos and do a write up of it ... nothing special, but it helps slightly. It doesnt help enough though, that is why I am going to do some work to see what I can do to get a light in the hitch reciever. Total cost either way for me was about 30-40 dollars (to have light in spare tire and in hitch). |

I've seen some listings on ebay for some replacement light bulbs (parking, brake, reverse etc.) made from LEDs. I wonder if these would be any brighter? The one person I did write to about the proper replacement bulb for our Liberty didn't answer my question (I sent it two times as well). Schmuck. If you come up with a solution, I think a lot of people would be interested. Brian |

I have the IPF Back-up light set-up mounted on my spare tire (available thru RRO). It does help quite a bit. However if you do go that route, make sure it's based on the smaller hitch size, not the 2" size (2" square is larger than the hole in the rim). |

I mounted a cheap driving light to my spare tire mount and wired it into my reverse lights. Works good for me. |

Here's mine: 
These lights were cheap at Autozone. Maybe $20. I then added a relay to the 12 volt supply for the rear 12 volt plug. (right rear) So they come on when I put the Libby in reverse, but they get their power from the power plug feed. There's a plug in the bottom inside the right rear cover that you can get wires through to the lights |

I did the same as boxhead execpt I hook them up to a seperate switch so they could be turned on by them self. I did this so even with the engine off I could use the lights. They come in handy camping or hooking up my trailer at night. |

I went to advance/discount auto parts and purchased a back up light kit for your trailer hitch. It mounts with big zipties. it was so easy and produces alot of light. 30 bucks! Chris |

Chris That's what mine is, though I actually mounted them to the rear plastic bumper. It's sturdy enough for these lights. |

Care to tell how you mounted these boxhead? Ive always wanted to do this, but could never find a way or light that looked good. I dont want to be a red-neck.
