Question:
Want to put a backup light on my 2021 Kodiak cub 177rb. Anyone know how I can get that done. Was thinking of under the back camera.

Hi Mitch; you can add the Optronics LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # OPT62KB but you will need to run additional wiring. Under your camera will work, or wherever else you want to install it that works best for your setup. Then you can run # DW02412-1 to your reverse light circuit so the light is powered whenever you're in reverse. If you already have reverse lights you can tap into that at the rear or you can run it all the way up to your junction box/trailer connector.
Any trips coming up this fall with your 2021 Kodiak Cub 177RB?
