Bought a used truck to tow the boat and the back window is way too dark to maneuver a trailer with at night. Is there anywhere y'all recommended taking the truck around BR to get some LED fog lights or something similar installed to the rear to help light up the trailer?

I remember the days of standing in the bed of the pickup at 9 years old holding a flashlight so my dad could backup the trailer.

Back glass or side window? Roll it down, if the side
Back boat down safely using side mirrors

Back glass, boat and trailer are pretty narrow and I'm flying blind until it gets in the view of the side mirrors which is usually too late to correct without pulling forward

I've never looked out back glass backing up a boat, bass boats you can't really see looking out of a 3/4 ton 4WD truck.

Put you some PVC pipes on each side of the trailer

I wouldn't be able to see the pvc out the back window, that's why I need some lighting installed. The boat is visible from the back window at day, at night it's like looking at a black piece of construction paper

Roll your tinted windows down.

Back window is the problem, can't see anything until the trailer is angled off one way or the other

Dad had me do the the hand-distance signaling. My hands would go from like two feet apart to closed in a millisecond and BAM lol! The bumper of that F-150 looked like it was an artillery target.

Bayou Lighting on Industriplex. They listened to what I wanted, gave me several options to choose from, and did the entire job in about 1 1/2 hours.

I have a trailer like that, super narrow. But I have a Tundra, so I can just roll down the back glass.
