    These are back up lights that I wired into the tail light assembly that turn on when the reverse gear is selected.

    Subbed. Interested in getting some too as backup lights. I've seen them mounted upside down under the bumper, on either side of the hitch receiver. Probably not the best location if you offroad a lot though.

    If you off road a lot check out brute force rear bumpers, best bang for your buck when it comes to rear bumpers. He can make them with pod mounts

    First I used cardboard to make a template. Then cut them out with my cutting torch. Next I drilled all the holes and last I used a vice and a sledge to bend. Cost me around 20 in material but I think if you look around there are some companies that make similar ones for around 40. I just like making my own parts when I can

    Thanks for the information! I ended up mounting them behind my bumper.

    You're fine man. I like the idea of yours though, may consider doing that when I get a set of floods

    It's a great location for floods. I have mine angled outward to help with lighting the sides of the trail and corners
