Had time to mount the left side as well, but will have to wait until I get back from vacation to get them wired up :ohwell:

So will these be wired into your reverse lights or do they take the place of rear roof rack mounted lights?
 
Very nice work! Makes me wish I had the older rear bumper. I've been thinking of just cutting the rear bumper but I haven't found the right lights yet (cheap/right shape/still some quality).

You can wire lights however you prefer. While this is a very cool idea, the way one would wire the lights is based on preference. I think I would wire them independently for auxiliary lighting myself. Depending on the light output, it might be a little extreme for standard back up lights.

I love these and am hoping to get a set when they are offered.

I think I would mount them up to a switch as I don't need that kind of back up light all the time, but when you want it, it's just a click away.

i have mine this way, but after having it like that for almost a month, i would kind of like both the switch and to automatically come on when i put it in reverse, its just easier

Best of both worlds.
:banana:

My thing is that I back out of my driveway every day and my street is very narrow and directly across from my driveway is my neighbor's picture window. They are lovely old folks and I'm sensitive to not flooding their living room with all that light unnecessarily.
 
Alright, I'm back in town and I am ready to start producing some of these. I may make a for-sale thread at some point, but for those who have been following this thread and want a pair from the first batch:

See first post for ordering/pricing info.

1 pair takes 12 hours to print, so I will be send you a PM involving the payment as your selected items become available to ship.

The lights are now wired up. Took a while, but I was able to grab a few quick shots with the phone after I finished.

Probably going to need a pair of these.

Do you have a link for the lights that fit into these? and should I PM you for paypal info?
EDIT: Nvm, sending PM.

I forgot to ask before, what size is the hole for the lights? I'm wondering if I can squeeze my existing lights in there or if I would need to order some cheapeys. ;)
 
THAT......is badass. Must have...PM sent.

Is there a reason why you didn't paint them white and use the white version of the light? Wanted them to match the blackout emblems?

As T101 said, they're designed to fit the specific 2" LED lights. The holes in the plates are squares with 2.17" side dimensions and 0.3" radius fillets in each corner.
