Tigershark bumper reverse light?
I just bought a tiger shark bumper and there isnt a place for the reverse lights since you cant use the original rear plate frame. What do you do for backup lights? Is there a kit to buy?

My tigershark bumper I bought came with new brake lights with the reverse lights built in and a extension for the factory wires...You should have got that too...

i have read one guy uses PIAA 1100X driving lights mounted in the exhaust muffler slits as his backup lights...must be damn bright!

Yeah, the factory bumper is really a good deal when you factor in the lights and wiring kit that also comes with it. You probably could buy the light kit above and just use 2 and sell the other 2 for $100 to someone on the forum...

How does the reverse lights work on them. When you hit the brakes does the clear also light up? Or is there 2 seperate light areas for it?

i agree with one of the above posts. Just make a mount for them in the muffler slits. It would look pretty slick behind a mesh screen.

The muffler slit idea is also a good one. I wanted to put the LED tail lights in and this maybe the idea to let me do that. Now just to build out a housing to allow me to do that.

We sell just the 2 clear lights with bulb and pigtail to wire to the existing reverse lights. We have also installed the PIAA/stock driving lights in lower rear openings. Pleae give us a call if you need more info or parts.
