    High powered reverse lights in rear bumper

    Sals build thread got me starting to look at LED reverse lights that can be mounted in the rear bumper. So now I'm in the process of researching the options out there.

    Any suggestions welcome.

    Some that I have found thus far:

    ^^May look good with the Limited trim on the rear..

    But I don't like how those will stick out far from the bumper. I like the flush mount look of Sal and AJ's because it looks OEM rather than a quick bolt-on job.

    Not sure If I've seen clear ones around but the tail light ones I see all over the place even at lowes they have them. I think on your white bumper the clear LED's will look sweet and if you can get a metal grommet not the rubber one like I have you can paint it blue.

    The ones i've found with the bezels all stick out 1/2" or so. Black grommet wouldn't be bad. worst case i can try painting it.

    I don't even think they stick out 1/4" maybe 1/8" at the most. because that rubber bezzel or whatever, if installed correctly, (you know... taking your time and carefully etching away plastic as I did, Sal).... It will actually be pretty flush with the bumper. And the led case itself, when installed in the rubber ring, will be flush with it. It don't stick out that much, haha.

    I am not sure what socket you guys have for your revers lights, but I have the 3157/3156 and these are the bulbs I recently got and have been very happier with them.





    They have a 7w Q5 Cree LED with projector at the end and 12 5050 SMD LEDs rapping around it. It is like having headlights in the rear! they make them in a few different configurations and bulb types. I got mine off eBay but you can find them other places.
    [05 WK Khaki 4x4 5.7L QDII ][ 5" SL (OME HD coils and struts) ][ 295/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers on 17" Moabs (for the daily grind) ][ 35x12.50R17LT BFG MT KR (for wheeling) ][ Hidden Superwinch in stock bumper][ And soooooo much more... ]
