My Steel Armadillo Rear Bumper and my Mod's

[Matt]

For my aftermarket reverse lights, I did the traditional tap from the factory reverse light and then used it as the trigger for a relay. I also have a separate manual switch wired to the same trigger on the relay to manually turn on my aftermarket backup lights when needed. I added a diode on the reverse light trigger lead to isolate my wiring from the vehicles just to be on the safe side. I'm not used to "computer" vehicles Lol.. so I have tried to isolate all my electrical work from the Jeeps.

Embedded LEDs... sounds great !

That's exactly what I was planning on doing.. But instead of on the roof, i want to embed two of these in the bumper itself:


And I had the same thought about putting a diode on the vehicles reverse light trigger; cheap insurance!

Kind of like this, but not as deep inset:



Rigid makes a flush mount dually... but i dont like the idea of visible mounting screws (or the price). Figure it's easy enough to weld a tab inside the bumper to mount these things.

My 93 ZJ Limited did not come with fog lights (or a place for them). It has them now !

This is my version of partially embedded bumper lights. Lol





I have often though of doing something like that on the front of my XK but having them more on the corners at a 45 deg perhaps. I now feel very happy with my forward lighting.

You know I think I have helped Hi-Jack my own thread !!

Technically we're still talking about your bumper. Lol I promise to start my own thread when mine arrives!

Ok... I feel much better Now !! Lol.. I was getting carried away about lights in bumpers,, ;-)

Oh and on my SA rear bumper there is Very limited space if any at all behind some parts of the bumper.

Now I have to go find your Backup camera question to let you know what I found out about one of your questions.. see U there >

Lol I promise to start my own thread when mine arrives!

I can't wait...!!!!
