Default Installing some backup lights need some advice

I got some small lights off a buddy of mine and was gonna use em as backup lights. my first plan was to mount them in the bumper facing out. But then I decided to mount them near my hitch facing out at slight angles to light up more of the sides. But now im wondering if I should mount them on my basket rack facing back. Any ideas?

How do u plan on wiring yours? are u gonna hook them up to a switch or directly to the reverse lights? I would like to try to do both, would be nice to be able to turn em on for when ppl are riding my *** lol

i was actually only going to wire to a switch because for some reason everyone in my town loves to ride my *** and pisses me off because i lock up the brakes on them till im at a complete stop and i dont have abs so tires are getting fryed. the wiring part i was just going to wire the same as i did my roof lights to a relay to switch and power it was very easy.
