Default Rear end worklight ideas

I'd like to install a rear work light on my XJ. Mainly for when hooking up trailers and working out back (funnily enough lol)

Anyone have any pictures of their set-up (mounting locations) and what way they switched it (ie inside the cab, at the light, in the boot, etc)?

Just looking some ideas...

Thanks in advance

I've installed rear work lights on my last boss' rig, a 2008 GMC 2500. I used some 6x4 marine lights and flush mounted them in the camper shell. I also installed some aux lights at the top front of the shell for side lighting. That truck was lit up like a Polish church when all the lights were on.

Reverse lights you can also turn on independently. I did this on my Jeep, works great.

Sorry no pic, but I have a group 27 deep cycle battery in a box with a 1000 watt DC-AC inverter velcro'd to the top of battery box. It sits in my cargo area and I can run any 120v lights, 3 gal air compressor, etc...

Just an option to kick around if you need more than a 12v light hanging off your rear bumper.
