    Finally mounted them. Hook them up to the back up lights and grounded to the light on the bumper since I had to drill holes in it...

    I'd like some light covers for these but most seem to be for 3" cube lights... any suggestions?

    I wouldn't use that.. Looks like an led strip light connector. Not waterproof. Buy a deutch connector. They're available online cheap. Check eBay or Amazon. Or just use some waterproof /heat shrink wire connectors. Or a 2 pin waterproof quick connector (at your local auto parts store, if they have any).

    I was more concerned about the wire size..

    Has Anyone had any luck finding light covers for these?
    I heard lamphus might work but can't find the forum now..

    You can get some film from Lamin-X and make your own if they don't already make that size. That's what I have on my pods.

    I got these and they fit fairly well on my 18w pods. I have a set of Avec and a set of auxbeam. They fit really well on the auxbeam but are a tiny bit loose on the avec. They wont fall off or anything but they do slide side to side about 1mm
