2 things..sexy waggy

And if possible, can you PLEASE get better pics of hows those KC's mounted? Like inside the box & outside & possibly some better output pics?
I have 4" 10LED STT's from harbor freight for my stop, tail & turn signal, but have yet to find a good reverse..I've got the same exact setup as you..just 2 big round lights lol. Setting up offroad lights for reverse would save putting fog lights on my roof, and maybe I could have them on a switch to use at any time...
I am also running a 4LED 2" amber flush mounts on the side to keep it legal.

Also I have heard people say I should have side marker lights on those but I have been running them for quite a while and haven't gotten in trouble yet.

I have similar housing..metal housings that is. I made my own out of 1/8th lol.
I bought rustys, they didn't fit the curve of the 1/4 panel..they were just a rectangle litteraly, and went straight down, while the 1/4 panel has a slight curve..so to get a better look I made my own.

What KC's did you use, like part number..gonna see if I can get a similar or even the same light.

My ambers didn't come in fear of the law. I prefer to not have them for a cleaner look honestly & less wiring! But because theres actually a study out that proves you have a 25% less chance of being side swiped when you have amber side markers vs red, and a 35% less chance than having none at all...I just googled it off of someone elses advice & decided it would be worth it.


But Ya pics of inside the actual housing, like how they fit & how they are mounted/secured, and how they sit flush on the outside.
Right now I have no reverse at all. I have my tail lights & amber corners. I used a 4" round for my tail, looks like you did the same.

Finally got my radio in, went with a kenwood excelon. Everyone I knew liked there's and turns out I like mine to! Sored the sound bar for $25 bucks about 2 years ago....for my last wag bit finally got around to doing something with it for this one lol I took the speaker guards off the oe hatch panel and bolted them down. ( dang hatch panel fell off all the time any ways....=p) stuffed the the doors,hatch and roof with Hertz high energy speakers. Woofers will come latter haha

My head liner is camo from the wallmart craft section it was way cheap! Lol my sticker/decal collection is growing……i hope its a good thing lol I had the decal lady change the jeep from a wrongler to a Cherokee because I drive a cherokee Haha

My only complaint with the sound bar is that there is a gap between the middle of it and my roof because my light isn't the same as the one it came out if I suppose?

As far as the tail light man, I haven't had a chance to get them off for pics yet but I will very very soon! Been busy getting stuff for the Jamboree. The brake/turn is a 4" led semi truck trailer light, and the reverse is a 5" kc Apollo series, same as on my roof. I mounted a thin sheet of aluminum to the bottom of the housings with 3 self tapping screws, then drilled a small hole where the bolt for the kc light would fit best with it being bigger than the hole, and that's that lol oh! On rustys off road's site they now carry 4" led kc reverse lights

Awsome your brake lights are the same as mine..I got the harbor freight version..10 led & same as yours.

If you get a chance, take a pic of how you did the reverse..My housings have a floor so to speak..which is what I think your saying you added?
So basically just fit the light & drill a hole like your mounting them on a bumper?

Any pics of those bad boys light up?

No I didn't mount them to the bumper, but I did have to remove a little of the plastic on the original jeep bumper so they would fit and look ok. Yeah I added a floor to the bottom of my housings because the kc lights needed a flat surface to screw down onto. Also I swapped the direction the bolt was pointing on the kc light base. So the nut was on top and not on the bottom anymore because when I tightened the bolt down when the bolt threaded down it stuck out to far and hit the bumper. See the silver bottom? That's what I added.
