Reverse Lights upgrade in the rear reflector

[Eric Sarjeant]

Thanks, can I just cut out the existing reflector to fit in the light? Is that what you did, and just painted reflector?

Yes, that’s exactly right. Will use some body filler to make it nice and smooth before painting. Honestly a little bit of orange peel makes it look a little better though. We’ve done it both ways (smooth and orange peel) I’ll see if I can find some pictures and post up later tonight.

The reflector lenses are definitely different, at least on my former '13 vs my current '16.

For 16+, I got an update from the Hex Peak Mods site (I signed up for notifications) recently. They're cool, but bring your wallet - $399 plus the cost of lights!

Yikes! Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be going the DIY route then.

Here is another way to get reverse lights into the reflector for a lot less and is DIY friendly.

Auxilliary reverse light project - Anyone have advice for drilling reflector lenses? Running wires?

I'm starting a project where I'm putting small LED lights (Rigid Ignite reverse lights, flush mount) in the reflectors in the rear bumpers for supplemental reverse lighting. They are mostly for setting up the camper in the dark, not day to day use. I will have them wired up through my...
