Does anyone know where I could purchase one of those backup/utility lights that just plug into the round wire harness for trailer lights?

I just bought two of them......Advance Auto, $18.
Works good for the Chevy's but the International still needs more. I think this winter I will modify (if I can't purchase) the two existing reverse lights to 50W lights.

with this type of thread going, what other set ups (pictures would be helpful) do you guys have for back up lights. I used to have two fog lights on the back of my tool box with my old truck, but they just didn't hold up to the elements and i don't use tool boxes anymore. I thought about working something into the rear bumper, but would like to have a system that i can use when backing up to my trailer at night and for when i have to load up a skid steer on the trailer and sinch it down.

i was looking for something a little more stealthy, but that would def. be functionable and give me the results i am looking for.

stevesmowing: hey dude, not to be a jerk or anything, but that is about tacky, not to mention i would knock those things off within the first week of use. thanks for the effort though. you better make sure you turn them off before you start driving down the road, you will give some old lady a heart attack who thinks there is a big truck coming in the same lane as her.

Ya guys that would be really cool to see everyones backup light setups. I found the copany that sells the ones I was looking for(mototrix) and all the stores that sell them. I might eventually mount too lights underneath my bumper.

they are hooked up on a 3 way switch. Off, On if the truck is on, or on only when the truck is is reverse. The lights are bolted down to the bed rail. As far as the old lady... The lights are the best for tail gaters at night. Quick flip of a switch and they leave you alone the rest of the time.
