I too cannot find them on their website. I'm interested in them but would like to review the details of them in advance of buying. Also, as supplemental back up lights, what wattage would be best? Thinking 18w should be more than enough.

Thanks. Will call.

I did find them on Engo's website. Engo USA - LED Off Road Lights and LED Light Bars For Your Truck, ATV or Other Vehicles

Thanks everyone for all their advice and help. To help close the loop on this issue in case any one else out there has the same issue, I could not find an inexpensive LED solution that would definitely fit within the cutouts of the Rampage rear bumper. The light can cutouts on the Rampage rear bumper have an inside dimension of 102mm (~4.015"), and I have attached a detailed photo from Rampage containing all the dimensions, which hopefully others will find helpful. The Engo lights, while very nice and cost effective, appear to be too big with a diameter of 115mm (4.5") and I was a bit concerned they might be too bright to serve as backup lights. I did find on super bright led.com a LED round light that was 2mm too large that would require sanding the plastic edge on the circumference to make it fit (maybe) and then coming up with some way to mount it inside the light can. Not a good solution for me in the end. In the end, my solution was to pickup a set of Rampage driving lights (found set on clearance for $55), which are designed and made to fit the cutout, and pick up a lower wattage (35watt) H3 bulb ($6 for pair) to put in the ramage light housings so they are more in line with appropriate brightness to serve as solid backup lights. While it solved the issue for proper brightness, it did not give me the easy wiring solution of tapping direclty into the reverse light circuit for power that LEDs would have provided me and that was my goal with this idea/thread. Instead, I'll use the relay triggered off the reverse light circuit and run the 12v+ hot line directly from the battery. I figure what time I gain in the ease of installing the lights themselves (versus having to custom rig LED lights even if I could find a set that I could make fit with sanding, bulding a custom bracket to hold them, etc) will even out with the time for running the additional wiring from the battery.

For your LOD, do you need a special bracket. I have LOD front and rear and would really like too replace my front lights.
