I bought the same lights but off tuff led or something on amazon! 98$ for two of them shipped. They are knockoff rigid d2 but appear pretty good quality so far! Going to use jig saw to cut holes in stock rear bumper and hole saw to start. Bought relays and switches so I am only going to control via switch. I was going to use a 3 way switch but figured most of the time I won't want to use them in parking lots or my driveway because they are brighter than my headlights! Haha

Does anyone know what bulb is used to illuminate the rear licence plate? Seems silly not to go after that one too.
Thanks

I made a template so i could duplicate the angle on both sides and started with a hole saw in my pilot holes
You use a hole saw so you get the curve at the end of each of the lights. with the 2 holes cut it looks like this..
Draw straight lines to the edges of each hole and use a sharp knife to score then cut out the plastic between then. You should end up with something like this.

I really like the look of the LED back up lights on the OR-FAB rear bumper and thought i would have a go at duplicating the look on my stock rear bumper. As it turned out this was super easy and should work on any JK 2 or 4 door.
The lights run under $40 shipped and its about a bucks worth of wire and tape.
Cheers

I have the same project , I ordered different LED's 3 days ago. I can't wait to get them and start the installation Attachment 540622 Attachment 540623
Would like to see pics once installed, if you don't mind.
