Rock lights are nothing new, but what is new is the technology. Now days its all LED. More illumination with less power to operate.
The photo to the left was taken roughly 5 years ago in Naches, WA. The rock lights I used were Halogen work/utility lights, still available, but are lower output and drawn more power and are on the large size compared to lights today.
I went with Rigid A series lights. You can get them individually or as a set of 4 or 6. They are about the size of a credit card and as thick as your cell phone. They are said to be able to run on a 9V battery and are very bright.
I chose to mount them at the top of the wheel wells. In this location not only will they provide uniform illumination, but also serve as good lighting for night trail repairs.
