I dont know if you have an autozone by you or not, I was there yesterday and was looking in the area of trailer hitches etc and noticed they had LED trailer lights for about $30 each... but the amzing part is that they are Jeep tail lights, they have a driver and passenger side and the driver side has the LED license plate light, i will be picking those up this week after payday, will post some pictures of it mounted. BTW even the 3 piramid spaced holes match so looks like a direct bolt on.

They do not have the backup portion of the light. Not legal.

Steelman- I like the look of that. The only issue I see is the license plate light... Do you have a write up? Thanks.

No real write-up but I do a little bit of explaining
here ---> http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f59/recessed-factory-taillights-tjs-290784/

At some point I will probably get some of these http://www.designengineering.com/products.asp?m=sc&cid=5 in the near future to light up the license plate.
