Rigid Industries but they are expensive.

Any cheapo LEDs will work. I flush mounted a set of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...sin_title_o07__o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
in the rear bumper of my truck and wired them into the reverse lights. They are awesome.

I have no doubt that Ridgid ones are better, but for $20 I can't complain.

Use a set of post mount work lights and turn them on with a toggle switch.

This. Any of the budget priced LED cube lights would be more than adequate.

What about longevity of the cheapies? My experience with any type of lights from China is about two uses and they die.

I have a pair of these LED's hanging under my bumper with a switch under the dash. They light it up nicely. Under $20/pair from Amazon.

I can't hang anything under my bumper. This is an offroad truck.

First you have to figure out where you have a place to put lights then start looking for something that will work in that space. Those lights hang down only 2" below the bumper and I have pieces of heavy angle iron in front of them. They don't hang down as far as my receiver hitch.

I have some that I bought from Amazon that I put on my 4wheeler. They are about 3 years old. A light bar and a third headlight. The 4wheeler stays under cover in the barn or my garage though.

Rigid has a handy tool so you can see what the lights look like running-

Those in the pic I posted seem to last quite a while. I've had a pair on the top of my UTV for 2 years and they've taken a beating. I've had more problems with wire connections than with the lights. Those come in either spot or flood, BTW. Flood makes better backup lights.
