Default Flush mounted rear brake lights

So ripped the rear lights and license plate off the jeep along with 3 of 4 fenders for the Last time...(been 4 times now lol)
So I slapped xenon flat fenders on while I fab some new front fenders up which I'll post when done, sleek and solid with 1.25 120 wall tubes ready to do battle.

Anyhow I am more than SICK of ripping off stuff It gets old....lol

Anyhow 12 gauge so its solid and I can weld some corner plates to the side plates later of I decide and solid enough that they won't bend.
Making a plate tomorrow that will fasten on to cover the recessed area from lic. Plate and I'll fab up a quick mount and holder for the light to get it in zip tied from the spare tire...

Love the jeep HATE the stuff hanging off the body its like my keep grew warts....just need to get it some small mods to keep it ready for the rocks and crevasses...

I'll post finished pics up in a day or so.

Top light is 4" with 21 diodes the lower will be a back up 2.5" clear from poison spyder.

This is another time it happened



This was the first repair at TDS


This is the 2nd repair at TDS this is how it sat till tonight











Driver side is done just need to grab the 2.5 clear led from PS for reverse lights.












Let's face it even my sons rc jeep is missing a tail light lol

Yeah, today I'll cut the excess inside the holes out so the lights will drop in. They should be mounted today.they look good real low profile and clean.

That's going to look pretty cool.

I have been thinking about doing this just because it makes for a clean look.

I am excited to see the results.
