I recently bought a new rear bumper that only has a smaller round license plate light and was wondering if anyone had replaced their bumper and made cutouts for the stock LED lights.

Bumper in question is Barricade Rear Bumper wondering if I will have to make a lot of measurements (angles and such) to make the stock lights aim correctly.
Or even have something 3D printed to mount orient them.

I believe I would just cut out in the circled areas and install my original lights there. Place a plastic plug in the hole for the light it came with.

That's what I was thinking, only concern is the angles. Looks like it will point the lights up. Have to remove the stock lights and check the alignment

So, dumba$$ me, should have just looked when I received it. All the pictures that show the round light socket are wrong. Apparently the manufacture has added the cutouts and mounting support for the factory tag lights. So, no issue re-using them! Thank you Barricade for doing the right thing!

That doesn't look like the Barricade bumper I've been looking at. I'm actually interested in seeing the Barricade bumper with the factory light cut outs. That old school round tag light has been a major deterrent for me not getting a Barricade.
