Hello,
I am a new P5 owner and new to the forum.
Been doing a lot of reading and learning about the P5 and the useful mods you all have posted.

My question is - You that have rear facing LED lights on your P5. Do you find them to be a useful mod and how often do you find yourself using them.

Thank you for any help, Much appreciated. Mark from Michigan,

Welcome. Use a Northern Tool LED light often, and can swivel down for cab light. Thinking of putting the second one from 2 pack on front OEM roof lip. $15 for both.

Only in the dark, lol!
Don't find myself using them that often but when you need them...;)

Thank you Mudder and trigger for your reply. I'm going to install a couple of them tomorrow and give them a try.
It will be a good little project to do tomorrow in the garage with the wind storm they are calling for.

The first time I had to back up, after dark, with my new P500, I realized that back up lights were going to be important. Also, helps to see in the rear storage box, if you have one!

Mounted VisionX low amperage LED on rear of cab, works great for lighting things up on the rack and loading unloading out of the truck/trailer. For sure is a useful mod, suggest getting a low draw amp draw one.
Cheers,

Definitely. I mounted two up high on the back rails and I love having them there. As @trigger said, only use them when its dark, but it seems like I find more and more use for them. Even just around the house moving a trailer or loading it on the trailer and seeing to tie everything down. Let’s see the install!

I am a hunter so i sue mine all the time. Getting gear ready to head to deer stand, loading deer ad other game in back and as a back up light. One of my most used accessories.

Since we are talking about lighting and hunting...two of my favorite things...

Check out the green led strips I put in. Very good for seeing in the cab at night, getting all my gear ready to go to the stand, etc. And I typically use a green headlamp so it was an easy decision.
