Default rear bumper lights

today i got bored and went buy some fog lights to use in the back bumper. first i cut a whole in my bumper to put the lights in
then my dad had this stuff layin around

so i put it to use!

then welded it in and ground it down

repeated on the other side

mounted the light in there


slapped some paint on it and put it back on the jeep and wahlah!



oh and i also put this kick *** sticker on it today!

lol actually i havnt wired them up yet so i have no idea how bright they are
ill let you know tommorow for sure though. and how thick was what? if your talking bout the grating stuff i used. its about the same thickness of the bumper. it was just stuff we had laying around so i couldnt give you an exact measurement

Hi,
I'm getting ready to install a new bumper with aftermarket LEDs. I'm curious how you wired these lights up?
