After breaking a JK tail lamp for the seconds time I decided to replace them with flush mounted lights. I already had the Auto Zone special fog lamps I used for reverse lights.

Parts:
Car Quest stop / turn / tail lights - 2 for $19
Ace Hardware sheet metal - $7.50
Ace Hardware weather stripping - $3.50
Total Cost: $30

I can't find anything nice to say about this hey its your jeep

 

I commend you for having the guts to drill into the quarter panels like that, looks like you wheel the crap out of your Jeep

 

Yup looks like 30 bucks!

 

Exactly...it's a dedicated trail truck. It might look cheap, but it will work perfectly, is sealed from water, and will help prevent further damage to the lamps. Mission accomplished.

I'm definitely more about function than form. My fender sawzall mod cost me $0.00. My neighbors were horrified watching me do it.

 

Got to do what you got to do, it doesnt look that bad

 

are you sure?

 

That will work

 

these lights work great I have used them in many instances but the install could have been neater. go to any truckstop and you can get these cheap. when they break just pull it out and unplug it and plug in the new one and they are available in LED in in amber, red and clear.

 

don't listen to half these jack asses, they wouldn't know a real Jeep if it ran 'em over...looks good man you saw the problem with the big ass stock tail lights, and solved it with in you financial means......It's a Jeep thang, they wouldn't understand
