In putting my old baja lights under my bumper as reverse lights, anyone have ideas where to mount them? or maybe have done it already and have pics? Gonna do this tomorrow so would love to have a plan already

 

Just mount them where they wont get bashed up

 

lol thats the problem, my lift shackles are right where i want them to go. I was thinking of bolting to the frame rail because i kinda want them hidden and not directly under my bumper were ill land on them on a rock, but i cant really find a place under there they wont get smashed

 

if you have factory bumper, cut a hole in it and put the light behind bumper. mount it to the bottom of the bumper and trim the bolt so it wont snag. those bumpers are thin. drill a hole and trim it out with sawzall.

 

That is perfect! Ive been wanting to do something similar now that my reverse lights work again lol i had some LEDs in there but they only "look" bright

 

Only thing is i dont want to weaken my already very weak bumper. Dont have the money for a new one

 

If they're under the bumper, they're probably not going to be safe from getting bashed unless to put a strong cage around them.. so I'd either just accept that fact, or try to mount them somewhere else.

I considered mounting reverse lights to either side of my hitch, angled out just slightly, so they're at least somewhat protected (also with a deflector shield in front of them to prevent rocks and dirt and crap from collecting on them).. then just plugging them in with my trailer wiring harness.

 

Well im not afraid to give them a little love tap every now and again, one of them is already cracked. I just dont want to absolutely crush them.

 

I mounted them up, look and work great. I'll take some pictures tommorrow when it's light out

 

Decided to just put them here, if they get smashed oh well I'll get some more from Walmart. They work 100x better than the stock ones do, makes me alot less nervous to drive in reverse at night.

 

What i got rigged up, ripped it off more then a couple times...

 

haha i just hope i rip of the light and not rip a hole in what its mounted to
