    Anyone found any LED lights that fit in the brute force fab rear bumper. Talked to Billy. He only knows of the halogen ones.

    Why not order a set of flush mount pods from one of the many different dealers and have billy custom fit them into the bumper?

    Already have the bumper lol. I got a hell of a deal on a second hand bumper and no lead time. So I couldn't resist

    Just saw the pic of your bumper in your build thread, I know rigid makes some lights that would fit that size not sure what your budget is though.

    Cool. I'll have to check it out. If they make them then someone somewhere is likely to make a knock off version. I just can't justify rigids pricing. Plus after the experience with the Halo 800 I lost a little faith in rigid

    I installed Feniex Apollo F6 dual mode lights. They fit just fine if you don't use the supplied shield. They're a dual mode light so you get your choice of colors. I chose white and amber. The white mode was wired in as reverse lights and the amber I have set to strobe.

    I made a bracket out of aluminum angle to hold the light in place.

    Here's a video of the flashers.

    You can see the reverse lights come on in this video. Don't mind the malfunctioning lockers. I had a short in the ribbon cable that ran to the switch panel and that's been taken care of.

    Yup, they hold great on the frame. I have two have that I need to redo though. I didn't rough up the aluminum before epoxying the magnets on and two have popped off. They don't move at all on the frame though.
