I paid £130 for the pair delivered. The rear light is the same so I now have to three of these. Must admit for the size they are quite impressive
where did you position the rear light Andy so it's useful once the tail gate is open?formerly Disco3Ben

Rear work light is mounted on the ladder so no use when tailgate is open.
I’ve got these fitted just need to wire them in.
Although I’m thinking of adding some in the upper tailgate trim so the lower tailgate is illuminated when open. If that makes sense. I’ve a couple of puddle lights I could utilise.
Also working on a design for a battery bracket/tray for in the rear passenger side cubby box.
All of this ties in with the split charge system I’m in the process of installing. Albeit slowly.

Done, apart from replacing the clips I broke
Have a permanent feed to them as each has a switch on them. So I can have one or the other on or both at once. Might have one red and one white. Will put some LED bulbs in either way.
Andy, far be it from me to question the power-panel-meister BUT an issue I have with 12v "cigarette" sockets is that adapters etc. plugged in to them stick out a couple of inches and thus
1. are likely to get knocked
2. intrude into load space
so I'm thinking of recessing 1 or more in the boot space to avoid these issues ... the standard one on nearside rear, above access panel, being a problem one for me. the rear dashcam is forever getting unplugged inadvertently. (yes, it will get hardwired at some point but not on the immediate list ).

@Hardware yes that’s a problem especially for things plugged in when traveling. I’ll be fitting these for things ie fridge that needs to be plugged in in transit. That way they are more unlikely to be knocked or unplugged. The others are for use when at camp for whatever is needed. My fridge will be on that side so will give some degree of protection but not complete

I think so yes. Got them from eBay for £6 the pair I think. If memory serves they are a Ford part.
Even with the standard build in they are nice and bright. They are brighter in real life than in the photo.
