Rear led pod locations?
Hey guys, I recently got a few led's for my xj, I'm about to install a curved 50" light bar and some fog lights in the front but have 3 switch locations on my switch panel and was thinking of adding some reverse led's to help visibility when needed but cant find any good places to mount them. Has anyone done this or know where they could be installed and look clean? Thanks!
Edit:
I'm contemplating upgrading to this bumper and adding the tire carrier later but can't figure out how much it weighs. I only have a 3" lift and don't want it sagging and kind of defeating the purpose of the lift.

You could mount one on each C-Pillar so you can point them to the sides or at an angle if you want or just leave them pointing backwards. There might be a slight whistle I wouldn't be surprised of but they won't get damaged from a rear end collision or wing crushed from going up a steep incline.

I have fogs mounted in my front bumper, they look good and function well. I would love to put some LEDs in the back bumper. The hatch is also a slick move.

The hatch is slick but I'd rather not do any drilling in the hatch if possible although i was looking at some of the single row LED bars and thought about placing a slim one above the license plate angled down. Unfortunately I thought of it an hour into my 10 hour shift so i cant go look and see how well it would fit and everything. my other thought was some of the slim leds tucked back underneath the back bumper.

I am a avid supporter of legal wheeling. I do not advocate illegal wheeling at all. The places our club(Thumb Jeeps) goes you need either the $26.50 ORV tag, the $10 Trail tag, or both.
I wont be wheeling til mid summer or very late spring. I have to get some health issues taken care of first.
I will be hosting a BBQ/Bonfire in the spring if you want to come and meet some local jeepers and nice people all around your more than welcome, you can shoot me a PM and i'll give you my contact info.

So i think i figured out a decent location, I planning on two single row 12" LED bars underneath the bumper either attached to the bumper itself or to the front face of the hitch. I think it will be a sleek location and a good place for reverse lights. Thoughts? The front face of the hitch is about 1.5" which is about the same height of the led bar and the depth will put it flush with or just tucked under the bumper a little
