Default rear lights

Hi Everyone I am new to this forum and recently purchased an 04 blazer and would love to add more lights. The first place where I want to add more lights is the rear of the truck. With the tinted windows in the back half of the truck (which I love) I just want more light when I'm in reverse. Does anyone have ideas? I think there are led lights that plug into the trailor hitch so they come on when the car goes into reverse.

Thanks in advance to all.

Paul

Know whats better for those tailgaters? Blue lights, and ticket book By the way i like the set up there. How did you run the wires in side? I would think from the back glass, and how did you mount them? I have emergency lights that size i might mount there now that i seen your set up.[>:]

Edit: Also if your ever reported or spotted doing that.. You wont like the ticket, and then the fine you get.

First off, to make the lights fit underneith the rack, I had to cut down the mounts so the whole assembly could fit. As far as the wire goes, I drilled a hole by each light (On the bottom side of the roof rack) and I ran the wirering through the roof rack to the driverside front where I have a calked hole and eventually to a powered switch.
