im kinda wondering, if i should cut like a section outa the top of the bumper to set the light into, then cut the 6 inch or what ever sized hole on the back....

i just figure, if i did that, i could maybe make the hole on the back a little smaller, and i could just set the light in from the top....that way it wont fall out from the back......

i dont know......just brainstorming

hmm, i may just have to try that then

im just wondering if the 2, 6 inch round lights will look as good as your 4 more slender rectanguler lights....if they dont look good in back, i could put them up front for a second pair of fog lights i guess, and get some lightes like yours for the back

i got mine at walmart for 2 for 20. 55 watt a piece includes all the wiring. I mounted mine to the metal bracket in the roof, drilled holes in it, its like the only piece thats not plastic.

How about this...

Ditch the big ol rounds and opt for some rectangles like the Baja lights from Pilot (Usually sold at AutoZone).
Mount them INSIDE the rear bumper and make two simple rectangular cut-outs (or several thin strips)

Whatever the outcome, ANYTHING is better than those first pics.
I saw them and was searching for some peanuts to throw it...

i may do that sometime, but for now, im going to leave it like that.....i like it like that, and i already had those lights so i didnt have to go out and spend money on more of them...

but sometime when i get tired of them in there, then your idea sounds like a good one
