Default Rear mount for KC HiLites?

I am looking for a mount, or any other ideas, for mounting KC HiLites to the rear of the Jeep; without using a roof rack. I have 2 KC HiLites mounted to the front bumper and 2 mounted to the windshield; those suckers light up anything in front of me. I want to be able to light up the area behind my Jeep in the same impressive manner. I was thinking a light mount, that would mount to the third backup light behind the spare tire would do the trick, then put some LED lights on there but I can't find anything on the market for this purpose. Have any of you seen this or can offer an alternative solution? Any help would be appreciated.

Few options I have run in the past...one is a modified mount through center of spare with light there. I just used some quick disconnects for the wiring. The other is a welded bracket under the bumper to light up things. You could also bolt them on then run the wiring via a switch for backup and for those wonderful tailgaters.

Northridge has some that mount on top of the tail light. Made by black diamond fabrication. They look good! They are for the rigid duallys.

I drilled into the stock spare tire carrier and mounted some small rectangular lights from walmart between the wheel. Works great. I will put up some pics if I get a chance
