I mounted a set of 2x3 LED pods under the bumper. I just tapped into the wires feeding the reverse lights for now.

I also did this.

Mine, similar to others above, painted the light housings to match the bumper.

There are no markings on them and the Ebay auction didn't mention a brand. They arrived in a plain box with no paperwork.

Wow, great replies. Jinx, I love how it looks - I just don't think I would have enough confidence to cut into my bumper. Probably will go for the under bumper style.

I bought 2 of KC hi lite led flood lights and used a 3.5" muffler clamp spray painted black and attached them to the round tow hitch bar. Fits perfect and cheap. I then wired the lights to a switch in dash so I can turn on and off at will. Nice having a lot of light back there. Pic below

Sounds like it was an easy install, would you agree?

meh it's not that bad. Just man up and start cutting. Measure many times first! :superhack:

Im going to resurrect this a year later. How are the lights doing? I had a bunch of the nilight ones on my Wrangler but I am going to order the flush mount ones for the rear bumper.

Not a 4th gen but my E Bay lights under the bumper. And with them on in a field at work.

The cheap Ebay LED's I installed on my Ram and our Wrangler are both holding up fine. By far the best "cheap mod" done to the vehicles.

When I was looking for back up lamps I wanted to do something that looked factory. I bought these inexpensive 4" 6 LED lamps. Then I went out and purchased a good used rear bumper-mine had a few dents- then proceeded to measure the holes to be cut. They say the first cut is the deepest so I wanted to be sure I had the measurements right. I measured them 3 times-no less. I cut them out then let the body shop paint it for me. When I got it back I used up a whole can of sprayable undercoating on the back side of the bumper so it wouldn't rust. I installed the lights with stainless Allen head bolts-anti seized all 8 so if I had to remove them they would come out easy. Next is wiring my 41" light bar that I mounted in the lower front bumper where the filler piece goes. I'm waiting for the Rigid harness to arrive then I can complete the installation. I'll buy inexspensive LED light bars all day long but when it comes to the wiring I'll spend the extra $$ for a good harness. A good harness is the difference between a fire or not!! I have plans for my Sport hood that I also bought used-$100-to be put on in the spring along with a '13+ front end. Sorry about the sideways pic of the truck but it seems no matter what I do -rotate it- it won't upload right side up.....

Looks good sir

Wandell · Oct 15, 2016

I forgot to include a pic of our Wrangler earlier. I know it's not a Ram but I can't stress how great of a mod that aftermarket backup lights turned out to be!

Here's a few more pics of how mine are mounted

I love these rough country LEDs they're blacked out and they're very bright!
