Those are the same ones I have. THey've been installed for almost 3 years and still work great.  Only issue I've had with them is the bolts on the ones on the sail panel rusted very quickly... but they are still holding on.

The ones under the bumper are wired to come on with the reverse lights, and then I have a switch to kick all 4 on.
 
I thought about doing the bypass switch but I'm sure it would only get me in trouble, lol

Does anyone have these lights and a backup cam?  If so, do these lights interfere or help when backing up at night? 

I don't have a streetlight near my driveway, and the neighbor across the street sometimes parks in the street.  My stock reverse lights do an okay job of lighting up the back, but I could always use more.

I have managed to resist the temptation to light up a few a-holes with their brights on behind me.

That is the main reason I got them; I had a cheapie b/u camera and it needed more light. Now I have a CubbyCam, so it isn't as bit a deal, but it still helps!
 
One thing I really need to do, I hate not seeing behind me at night. Great job  :cool:
