Backed into trailer

[Ryan Thompson]

Backed into my trailer tongue this weekend and punched a little hole smack dab right in the middle of my bumper below my licenece plate. Think i have a cheap remedy though thinking about getting a 6 inch LED light bar and cutting the whole bigger to fit the light.

My question is could i wire this right into my back up lights or would it draw too much power??

It'll draw nothing for power, even if you get 12V LEDs. It just may not add any useful light.

cool thanks. just thought it would be cheaper than taking to a shop to fix

Had a similar situation with my rear bumper. We were unhitching the boat and it rolled forward and the hitch creased the bumper. The Hubby tried to stop that 4500lb boat and just couldn't do it, imagine that. I was just glad the boat didn't crease him. We took the truck to the shop and they gave us a quote that convinced us that having that battle scar just wasn't that bad. I seem to remember a new bumper cover costing about $900 so the next time we have that laying around and can't think of something better to do with it, we'll probably fix the bumper. Until then, my boy will just have to live with his blimish.

AS Tiger said, no usful light. Why not do the same but get red and hook up to the brake lights. Might help those drivers who tend to center there vision on the rear center.
