I would look forward to mounting these on my stock rear bumper, as Back Up lights

There's plenty of room on the passenger side, but the license plate takes up almost all of the space on the driver's side so if you didn't want to mount the light in front of the plate you could mount it on top of the plate. But these LEDs put out so much light you'd probably be well served by only one as a backup light so you could just do one on the passenger side if you wanted to only mount to the bumper.

I do have an idea of the price they might sell for, but it's not my place to announce that - I'll let the company annouce that when they're ready. I'll repeat what I said the other day though...

An optional plastic cover is not part of the initial launch.

I have a Gobi stealth rack shipping to me next month, and had just started to think of LED lighting options! Now another thing to put on my watch list.

What I really like about these lights on the Gobi is that they're small enough to be protected by the top bar; also they bolt right up with special mounts required.

That's what sold me, plus putting a couple on the rear for camp lights... this is exactly what I want to do! They seem really unobtrusive.

Like I said these should mount easily to my Rhino Rack bars for camp lighting, Ill have to see how they would fit once I get the Foxwing awning installed. I remember the pics, can you dim the lights?

The awning goes above the bar and the LED pods would go below.

Ill have 16.5" flood/spot bars front and rear on the racks for trail and camp use as well. Awning should be installed tomorrow. Hopefully I can get the light bars, switch pro and CB installed this week. Ill try and add wiring for the LED pods for the switch pro controller while the other lights are installed.

They probably can be dimmed with a dimmer module designed specifically for LEDs, but I haven't tested that. I'd try something like this: LED Dimmer Module 12-24VDC 30A | MPJA.COM

I finished the rear flat fender mold masters. Yesterday I finished the bodywork, part of which involved lengthening them 1" at the bottom because it's always best to have the mold be larger than where the part gets trimmed to ensure a good edge. When I last showed photos of the mold masters on the Jeep, the bottoms of each leg of the fenders were very slightly above the bumper and the rock rails - now these wouldn't fit anymore because the legs are too long. The final fenders out of the molds will be trimmed to fit just above the bumpers and rock rails (or side steps), but coming out of the mold they'll be about an inch too long before trimming. This morning I shot them with epoxy; they're now ready to make the molds, which I'll do later this week.
