Bolt right up? No way. Could you make them work with a little time and effort? Sure/

Anyone used these before? i'm trying to find a alternative to my ORO lite dots. i cant put round led's in the tub due to the OR-Fab tire carrier bracket

Bear in mind that those lights stick out just like the factory lights do.
Also they will not be legal on a TJ (Only legal on a stock 1941-45 MB and GPW) due to having no reflectors on rear or side.
But they'd be easy to bolt on in place of the stock TJ lights.

I've got a set of these on my '66 M-416 trailer. I'm told there's a design flaw so that when they encounter water either from rain or stream crossings, they let water in but not out. I opened them up and found them full of water and the internals completely corroded. I couldn't even get the bulbs out of the holders. In an effort to not spend too much cash on the trailer, I completely removed the internals, lined the inside with aluminum foil to act as some sort of reflector and replaced the internals with the guts from some magnetic trailer lights I had in a bin. They work, but are still terribly dim. As soon as I can find a set of stock TJ tail lights, I'm going to get rid of them. I'm just not comfortable with their visibility on the road from a safety standpoint.

FWIW,
Adam

Have you checked out Saavy's yet?

IMO they look great once you paint the Aluminum black.
