Thanks so much for sharing this video. It contained ALL of the information that I needed for a smooth installation. I cut the holes for the lights a little small and then gradually made them larger until they were the perfect size. My lights from Rough Country came with a wiring harness with a switch. I cut the switch off and tied the wires from each light together, then ran a wire off of those to the taillight and used the splice clips. You were dead-on with the reverse light being the white wire with gray stripe. I was so pleased when I completed the installation and they worked the first time I turned the key on. I don't think I would have attempted this without your video. Thanks again!
just saw your review of these lights when I ordered them on amazon. got them for my 2013 jku so your video is perfect. thanks very much
+clayton smith Thanks so much for the positive comment! I am glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
This is one of the better videos on a mod led bumper 👍🏻
Hey Dex! Of course one of my favorite jeep channel did it before me LOL !! I will be putting those lights on my bumper in a few weeks... thanks for the tutorial!
For me, they will be on a switch for only when I need them
Thanks for the help! will be installing this weekend.
Awesome! bchdds Just make sure you measure twice and cut once! It is a little tricky due to the shape of the back of the rear bumper. Let me know if you run into any trouble. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Adventuredex. Duplicated all your steps. Worked out GREAT. I cant figure out how to post a picture here but if i do i will. Thanks Again
Thanks for the positive feedback! I love to hear when people are able to follow along! Feel free to post a photo on IG and tag me @adventuredex! Thanks for watching!
Dexter- I'm a big fan of your videos and I appreciate you making this one because I am actually doing the same for mine right now, just got the wiring left to do, but I feel like you half assed this one. There were many details that you left out that would have definitely helped me. Overall good video and I love the other ones as well.
Thanks for the comment bro! I appreciate the support and positive feedback! This was one of my very first videos that I did over 2 years ago, I have tried to improve both the quality of the video and the details in my newer videos! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and ill do my best to help! Thanks for watching!
Nice Jeep and mods. Sorry I'm late to this video. Story of my life lol. Take care Dex enjoy your videos.
No worries Ricardo! Thanks for watching!
I’ll def be getting these! Thank you bro!
👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for watching
Good video. It helped me wire my back up lights. Thanks
+Elias Ramos Thanks Elias!!
Great video works perfect and looks awesome. I'm going to add a diode to the hot wire behind the tail light and then split the wire from the new led's to my Apolointech rocker panel so I can also turn them on without needing to be in reverse.
Thanks for sharing!
Once again awesome video Bro! I was looking for a way to add more light to my JK because the original reverse lights are not bright enough. Thanks for the tips on how to rig up some sweet lights..
Thanks for the support! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Im gonna get these ive read good reviews thanks bro!
Thanks for the comment! Serg Kaizen I would definitely recommend them! Did you see the last video I posted? It had a clip of them at night! They are a great mod to the stock bumper!
just did mine it came out great thanks your the man
Thanks for the positive feedback Steve!
That's awesome. Great job. I'm going to do a quad tail light mod on my impala. Just not sure how to mount the reverse light. Not sure if I'm gonna cut a hole like you did. But thank for the video. Nicely done.
Gnik4144 Thanks for the comment! I this video helped you out in your own install! Thanks for watching!
Dex,
Thanks for the hookup!
The tips you've shown are well taken.
With your vid, I finally found a mod that fit my need for an awesome solution to darkness while backing up.
These Flush Cubes couple w great quality CREE LED Tower Bulbs replacing the yellowish stick back up lights, turn nite to day!
Again, props to you.
You are now sub'd :)
Ed Saplala Thanks a lot bro! Am really glad you found this video helpful! Thanks for subbing!
AdventureDex NP...Just hot-linked you on the JK-Forums :)>>> [URL="www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/35s-stock-wheels-post-em-here-76203/page108/#post4116374"]www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-show-tell-33/35s-stock-wheels-post-em-here-76203/page108/#post4116374[/URL]
Ed Saplala Thanks bro! Spread the word!
Good video dude.👍🏼👍🏼
I think I would have put them on a separate switch for other possible uses during camping etc.
Great suggestion, thanks for watching
Good Job very helpful thanks for posting it.
+Michael J. Perez Coley Thanks a lot Michael! I appreciate the positive feedback! Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks for making it.
+Dave Susek Thanks for the comment David! I appreciate the positive feedback! Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
I install them yesterday work and looks great thanks again
+robert nocera Awesome!! I am glad you were able to get them installed! Thanks again for watching!
How are they holding on? Any rust on the screws?
Hey @adventuredex, I just ran a similar set on my 2011 JKU Sahara however..... I ran a harness from battery to a rocker on my dash and then back to the lights. I want to be able to turn on at will (I.e. for jackoff behind me with high beams, etc). My question is this..... can I run them through harness as I have them AND tap into reverse lights so they come on when in reverse? I am not sure if the reverse charge run will mess anything up. Thoughts?
Hey props bro, I followed your video and now have a set of Nilights installed in my number, I added a rely so they would work as switched auxiliary and reverse lights. Thanks!
Thanks Gary! Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
real nice custom job, great attention to detail!
John Golden Thanks, John!
Great video!
Thanks for the comment bchdds Am glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Can you explain how you accessed the LED wire from the bumper to behind tailgate? When I look behind my tailgate I see a bunch of foam and want to get a better idea of where to run the wire before I get too involved.
Do these lights throw off enough illumination to see behind you when backing up in the dark? I have a soft top JK and when I back up at night, I can't see anything behind me
newbie here, love the video any way you may show an instruction video from the point you put the connectors on to the factory wires to Assembly them to the lights ?>
very nice will do this soon
Thanks Micheal
Thank you for sharing. You made my day today.
+ART MOMONGAN Thanks for the comment! Your comment made my day! #jeepwave Thanks for watching!
Yeah the super speed mode is fun and awesome!!! Cool
salvador quijada Thanks a lot! Your guys are the bomb!
Same wire colors on later JK models? I have a 2018.
Great write up.
Thanks for the comment An Hoang I am glad you enjoyed!
How did you wire each light? Each light to each reverse or both lights to one reverse?
Is good to know I'm not The only one impatient when it comes to unpacking stuff (toys) by mail!!!!
+salvador quijada LOL yes! I love getting Jeep parts in the mail!! Thanks for watching! #jeepwave
I can't find anything that tells me if this will work with a 2019 JL Sahara. Does anyone know? Thanks
Loved your video, I went and ordered a set and will soon be installing the lights but I am taking the option to add a relay as mentioned by another. The question I had once the lights are installed, how did you get the wires out the channel, was it through one of the holes drilled for the screws. Again GREAT video, keep making these very informative tutorials. Also you mention using a 1 inch drill bit but the holes do not look that big??
+Joe Velez Thanks for the comment and positive feedback! Yeah you run the wire out the back of the bumper which will need holes drilling in it. I filled the hole with silicone to stop water getting back in. You can use a smaller drill bit then 1inch and if you find you need to make it bigger you can always bump it up until it fits. I hope this helps! Good luck on your install. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! now I know what to buy to get my lights working. I really appreciate it!
Thanks alot for the comment Ray! If you are looking for lights, check out www.adventuredexonline.com Thanks for watching!
Just order a pair of them at amazon, I'm wondering if you have more less a measurement of the distance of the upper edge of the bumper to the upper edge of the flush lights to try to do a good positioning of the lights in the plastic bumper? For wiring did you connect the main power direct to the battery and use a relay activated by the backup wire? Or the power was supplied by the reverse wire from the taillights?
Don’t have exact measurements but if you follow the video you should be good!
This was really helpful. Did you wire up both leds to just one side of your tail lights - can one side power both leds or should i wire left led with left tail light and right led with right tail light? Thanks again!
+Thomas Lahr Thanks a lot for the comment Thomas! You can wire both LED's to 1 taillight. Makes the job a lot easier. Because LED's draw such small power you shouldn't ever have a problem. Thanks for watching!
@adventuredex I have a question can I get away with buying lights that don't have the holes where the screw goes? for example a light pod that doesn't or would you recommend this style of light due to the lights holding up better?
+Reps in Peace Thanks for the comment. For this installation, I chose to use the flush mount LED's for a few reasons. First the flush mount looks really clean, the lip covers all the cut lines. Also it makes the mounting very easy because you can put 4 bolts on each light to secure it. Hope that answers your questions! Thanks for watching!
Did you put any kind of gasket between the light and bumper to seal it from water? Also did you seal the holes after you bolted the led light to the bumper to seal those 4 holes in the back of the bumper, if so with what? Thanks great video.
I didn't put anything between the light and the bumper however you can its not a bad idea. I did seal the holes behind the bumper with a bit of silicon. Thanks for watching!
if i were to do the same type of setup but instead with a 12" light bar, would i need anything else like say a relay or would just the light bar and use butt connectors to tap be fine?
+Logan Yap Thanks for the comment Logan! You could simply tap into the reverse light as LED's really don't draw that much power. It is always a good idea to add a relay and fuse if you can but I have added plenty of LED's and never had a problem. Thanks for watching!
Hi, did you run both lights off one factory reverse light, or one light off the right and one off the left? Also have you had any trouble not using a relay for this?
Thanks
Thanks for the comment bchdds I am running both LED lights off one reverse light and I have luckily had no issues. I do plan on adding a relay but I think because the LED's are so efficient i've been able to get away with it. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Do you have a better video lf the 3 way installation?
Hey man real nice job. I just ordered the same lights. I want to operate them with a switch. How can I run the wiring from the bump to the inside of the jeep?
+Nyrtuffd Thanks for the comment bro! The best way I found was running the wire from under the body up through the taillight compartment (found under each side of the rear bumper). Then from the taillight compartment up through the carpet on either side of the trunk space. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
How did you get a nut on the bolts? Seems like that would be my frustration/breaking point 😂
Dr Dex - do you remember the measurements for the holes from the top or the tire cut out? I am about to put in the same lights into my stock bumper - but figure you may have the measurements. Thx The NiLights hole needs to be 2 7/8 h by 3 3/8w but I am trying to figure out the placement of the holes....thx as always
Thanks alot for the comment bro! Unfortunately this video is from so many years ago that I do not recall. My best advice is to measure twice and cut once. It is always easier to cut the hole too small and then keep trimming until the light slides in. If you cut the hole too big then there is no going back. Also because the light has a lip around the edges it is not a big deal if the cut is not perfect because it will not be visible once the light is flush in place. Thanks for watching!
Old video but a great one! I have one question, is the reverse wire the same color on both sides driver and passenger side. I know it’s white with the grey stripe on the passenger side. is it a different color wire for the driver side or is it the same wire white with the grey stripe for the driver side to? Thanks
Thanks! Its not the same on both sides, sometimes you have to use the process of elimination! Thanks for watching!
Would you just wire together both leds and then splice them with one of the taillights or individually do each led with each tail light?
Yeah, that is correct! Thanks for watching!
Wish you would of a actually wired up the lights so I could of seen more in depth about how to use those splicers, but thanks for showing how to mount them in the stock bumper. That's exactly how I'm gonna do mine.
can I also run a switch to turn them on and off also? with them being wired the the reverse lights?
+robert nocera Good question..You can but you would need a few more components which I decided not to do as there wasn't much use for a switch in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Im ready to install these lights on my Sierra bumper. I saw you use a dremel tool... so using an angle grinder would be overkill?
Yeah you wouldn't want to go and cut where you shouldn't
+Jordan Enriquez well, I ended up using an angle grinder, and came out awesome.... I regret not opening up the pods and adding some type of water sealant, water will get inside these pods. I'll have to put a video up.
I know this video is a little ''older' now ... but ... I wish you had spent a little more time and shown a little more video of how to secure the nuts (through the back) as you tighten the bolts on the front. Did you COVER these big ol 1" holes that you drilled on the back, after installation? and if so, what did you use? To avoid drilling those holes, I tried to super glue the the tiny washer and nut in place, going through the opening in the front, gluing on the other side of the hole ... and it actually worked for 2 bolts, but didn't for the other two, so I gave up on that idea, and drilled the holes in the rear.(Plus, I''m the worst at using super glue ... all over my fingers.)
Is that the stock plastic bumper?
Ok thanks for the quick reply.
+Nyrtuffd No problem! Good luck on your install! Thanks again for watching!
Hey I have a 2014 ram 1500 and I was wondering if you think that the wiring on my tail lights are the same as yours because I want to do the same thing like you for a while but haven't gotten to it yet
Thanks for the comment Jordan! I am not sure if the wiring is the same but you could just gotta find the wire that leads to the reverse lights and tap into it. Thanks for watching!
on most pickup trucks it should be on the wiring harness under the bed, but you can find it easiest on the 7 way rv/trailer connector if you have one
Trying to help out my little sister with her Jeep. What kind of gauge wires were used??
14-16 guage is always good for LEDs
Awesome thank u!
Glad you enjoyed!!
Just recently bought a Wrangler and trying to be self-sufficient with my upgrades. So, stupid questions: 1) the 1" holes in the back, are they simply used for tightening the nuts onto the bolts, and then filled with silicone? Or did you get longer bolts to go all the way through? I ordered the lights already and saw the bolts weren't that long. 2) How did the connectors to the tail light wiring hold up? I do not know how to solder and planned on just doing what you did. Thanks!!
Thanks for the comment Nick! No questions is a stupid question! I started learning just like you are now! The holes in the back are to fit the socket inside to tighten the bolts they were not long enough to come all the way through. The silicon was to seal the holes so water did get inside and mess shit up. If you watch my latest rear bumper video, I have a comprehensive tutorial on how to wire lights into the taillight so they can be used as reverse lights. You don't need to solder, you can use a crimp tool and connectors. Thanks for watching! Don't forget to sub! #jeepwave
Thank you for the response. I've watched almost all of your videos and you are pretty much going to be my "instructional videos" for my mods. I definitely can't afford to buy the accessories AND pay someone to install. I appreciate the videos a lot! Keep it up!!
I did this today using the exact same method on my jeep. The only problem I have is that they only work when my headlights are off. With my jeep in reverse they will work but as soon as I then on my headlights they turn off and only the original reverse lights work. Any help?
+Trdawson44 Thanks for the comment! That is very strange, the only thing I can assume is that your wiring is somehow incorrect. There should be no interference between the headlights and the taillights. There are 2 steps that I can think of to try and fix this problem. 1. You can try removing your negative terminal on your battery, this will reset your Jeeps computer and hopefully fix this issue. 2. Go back over your wiring and be sure that you are connected to the correct wires and that you did no make any mistakes. If I remember correctly you should be connected to the Grey wire on the harness for the taillights. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
I was wondering how you marked the rear to drill the 1" holes for the nuts..
+Ray Ovac Thanks for the comment Ray, I had to eyeball them. They are not a big deal because they are at the back off the bumper and will never be seen. Thanks for watching!
good job but you left out how you fastened the bolts on back of the lights and how you ran the wires..
Thanks for the video and the link from amazon :). Nice to know I can just cut square holes. Is there some type of gasket on the back of the lights to keep them from vibrating against the bumper? (wearing the bumper paint and rattling)
Thanks for your comment! factionfx The lights bolt in with 4 bolts which should not any vibrating but you could add some type of rubber gasket if you found one that fit properly! I have had no trouble with them at all since installation! My only recommendation would be to measure twice and cut once! Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
I definitely will take my time measuring out the holes and cutting them :). Since they don't have a gasket, I'll probably just use some bike innertube. Thanks again!
factionfx No problem!! You could probably use a thin rubber or foam and cut out the center so the light slides through and the gasket lines up with the overlapping lip of the flush mount LED light. I used a piece of cardboard to measure the face of the light and then used that to measure the hole for the front and back of the bumper. Once you take the bumper off completely you will see that it has an awkward shape due to fitment of the rear tire but you can work around it like i did. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
AdventureDex Cool ideas. I saw those in the video. Mine are going on an F150; I think it will be an easier fit than yours :). I don't think there is anything behind the bumper.
factionfx Yeah, you should have no problem then! The fitment is easy once you have a Dremel and a measuring tape LOL Good luck! am sure you'll make it happen! Let me know how it turns out! Thanks for watching!
Can yoh show us how to replace the fuse please
Do u feel the 18 watt lights r bright enough or after installing would u recommend a higher wattage reverse lights?
Thanks for the comment Jeff, they are 18 watt each so that is more than enough brightness. They work very well if you have a reserve camera as well. Check the link in the description. Thanks for watching!
thx for the reply. I do not have a reverse camera. I want to make sure I light up the garage good when I'm parking my Jeep in reverse. my wife pulls her car in, so room is tight and at night I want to LIGHT IT UP! :) Will the power tapping into the tail light be able to handle 24watt LEDS? is 24 watt overkill or just a lot brighter in ur opinion? thx
No worries Jeff! I would recommend these lights (goo.gl/7q1wCn) they are very bright and for the price you can't beat them. You are not going to be able to tell the difference between 18 Watt and 24 Watt. Both will be very bright in a small space like the garage. Hope this helps!
I learn a lot of new things thanks, but I have a question. Which fuse did you replace, can you do a visual so we the people can see? thanks
+Maurice Mejia Thanks for the positive feedback! The fuse is located in the fuse box in the engine bay. You should be able to find the blown fuse easily if you did want I did lol. Sorry for not showing it. My newer videos are much better quality and detail!
Awesome thanks, okay so you are only replacing the because you blew it out? Not because you need a bigger one or better fuse to support more lights? Thanks sorry for the noobish question
Exactly, only replaced cuz I blew it! No worries, I am here to help!
Ok you weren't clear on the wires so can u help me out? You said run the positive to the black wire, then splice into the gray one with the white stripe for the reverse light. The black wire is the ground right? I just want to make sure cause you said the opposite. I have a 2014 wrangler and I want to run my Garmin backup cam so that when I put it in reverse it comes on.
Thanks for the comment Jamual, The LED lights that I installed had a positive and negative feed only. What I did was I ran the positive feed to the power source for the reverse lights on the taillights (which in this case was gray with white strip wire) I than ran the negative to the ground. I hope that helps! You might have to try a different combination if it doesn't work. I blew a couple of fuses trying this out but its no big deal. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
+AdventureDex thanks a ton! My Garmin backup camera is running. Glad I didn't pay the 150 bucks to get it installed
For sure! Its really not difficult plus its fun to learn about your Jeep and install it yourself! That way if you ever have a problem you can fix it!
what's the glass size of that thing? thanks
Sorry what?
Hello. Love the video and the end result its just amazing. Planning to do it this upcoming weekend. Just have a question, that will highly appreciate of your feedback. How did you get the wires from the LED lights for these to come out from the back of the stop/revers lights. Your Friend from El Paso Texas... P. Aun.. Again Kudos on the video and on your jeep. :)
Thanks for the comment! Pablo Aun Id be more than happy to help you with this cool reverse light mod. What I did was, I took off the left taillight and found a spot inside the rear body panel where I was able to fish the wires down under the Jeep. Once the wire was under the Jeep I ran them to the rear bumper and connected them to the LED Lights. I hope this answers your question. If not feel free to send me a detailed email to dex@bahamasjeepclub.com and I will try make it a little bit clearer! Let me know how it turns out! :D Thanks again for watching!
AdventureDex Dex, Highly appreciate your feedback. I'm looking forward to the upcoming weekend to start working on the Amazing Bahamas Light Mod. Do you recall how big the gap was on the rear body panel. The reason for asking is due to the lights that I got from Rough Country (www.roughcountry.com/2-inch-led-square-flush-mount-lights-70803.html) do come with a very nice thick protective sleeve. Do i need to get a few feet of small wire gauge for this to be routed through the gap mentioned or is this of good size to fit the wire harness provided. Thanks
Pablo Aun Thanks again for your comment! The Led flush mounts I bought didn't come with a wire harness so I had to buy extra 16 gauge wires to run the lights to connect to the taillight so whenever I shift into reverse the lifts turn on. Since your does come with a wire harness I would use that to run the lights to the dash so you have a way of manually turning the lights on if necessary and I would also purchase some extra wires to steal some power from the reserve light. So basically what I would do if I was you....I would flush mount the led lights in the rear bumper, (be sure to measure twice and cut once, it can be a scary thing to do lol) then run the wire harness up into the cabin of the truck and to the front dash. I would then run a separate wire from the reverse light wire (which I believe is colored white&Grey) to the power of both led lights. Hopefully that all makes sense. I drew out a diagram of where I was running the wires to makes sure that it all made sense. Thanks again for watching. Let me know if you need me to draw you a diagram. Thanks.
How long did it take for you to install?
Great question, this install takes about 2 hours depending on how fast you work! Thanks for watching!
Curious as to how these Amazon lights are doing after 6 years?
Still work! I have the bumper to a buddy of mine
which wire is the running light?
Thanks for the comment! What do you mean running light?
I like this install, because there is NOT ENOUGH light back there, and im too cheap to buy a new bumper.
Not sure if you thought of this when you installed these but the holes in your bumper for your bolts / screws you should have an anti-crush sleeve running the length of the depth of the light with a washer to protect your plastic bumper.
-Also you really have a hardon for lights don't you. Very curious as to what you need all the light for.
brendan haug Thanks for the comment! Just to satisfy your curiosity, i'll explain. I live in The Bahamas and there is a government import tax on auto parts of 60% plus shipping costs so as you can image auto parts can get very expensive. Having said this, LED lights are tax free so that can explain why. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
+AdventureDex I live in Canada, and with our Canadian Dollar vs American Dollar, its like having a huge tax for auto parts anyway, so i understand and feel your pain. - Thanks again for the video as i like to re-watch to use as reference for ideas. ( backup cam in the middle of the bumper in this case)
brendan haug Yeah bro! I heard Canada has high taxes too! Am sure the dollar will strengthen again but your right! It is a pain in the ass when buying Jeep parts! #jeeplife haha Thanks for watching!
hi 1 question the black cable in put black cable red cable what cable ? pleace let me know
+LAS OVEJAS DE JEHOVA EVANG.FREDDIE TORRES sorry I don't understand your question
AdventureDex the reverce light conection red color and black color but have jeep jk where me conet the red color ? tk
could i power the lights with the black wire but also put a switch for them in the cab of the jeep?
+Trey Ducote Thanks for the question! No that would not work, every light must be have a positive and negative connection. If you want to add a switch you must add another relay and circuit so it can be controlled via 2 ways. It is definitely possible to do you would just need to run 2 positive lines to the led light. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Yes this helps alot thank you very much and great job on the vids.
+Trey Ducote Thanks! #jeepwave
How big of square holes did you cut with the dremmel. What were the dimensions
+brad dierzbicki Thanks for the comment Brad! Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact measurements as I did this install over a year ago however once you have the flush mount LED you can measure the part that needs to fit into the hole. It is approx 3" x 3". Remember that the LED has a lip so the hole in the back doesn't need to be perfect just enough for the back of the LED to slide into the hole and the rest will be covered by the lip. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
+AdventureDex thanks for the quick feedback, so if I start with a 3x3 hole I should be alright, just don't want to mess anything up
+Brad Dierzbicki No problem! What I would recommend you do is get the LED flush mounts in hand and turn them around. You will see the body of the LED is smaller then the front face of the LED. You only need to cut out a hole for the body of the led to slide into...the front of the led is wider and will cover the rest of the hole. If I remember correctly the body of the LED is approx 3"x3"... however I would recommend getting the LED and measuring first. Using a template is always a good idea too. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
SO you said this is over 2 years old... LED's still work? Should do an updated video! I'm going to do this to mine! I may buy an extra set of the lights so I know if the company goes under I still have a second set! for real though how did the leds hold up?
Yes, LED lights are very efficient so they last a long time! Since this video, I have got an aftermarket bumper so this set up is gone! Sorry! Thanks for watching!
Oh bummer thats ok! Absolutely i like alot of your videos! I am looking at doing some headlights! Know of some good ones that wont break the bank?
Thanks for the positive feedback bro! I currently have Auxbeam headlights and would definitely recommend them! Here is a list of great jeep headlights! amzn.to/29qUFOE
thanks man! I appreciate the quick reply on the comments! Hey whats a good budget friendly lift kit with some budget friendly upgraded tires. Im stock right now and hate it haha
For sure! You think you hate it... LOL I hate it the most! I have been saving up so hard for a Teraflex 4in lift and some Mud terrains but something always comes up. I would check out these lifts! amzn.to/29iDXCf
These are flood or spot lights?
These are floor Jorge, Either can work but floor gives a wider range of light. Thanks for watching!
how did you wire the light it did not show us?
+robert nocera Thanks for your question! I ran the wire behind the rear bumper and up into the taillight compartment. I unscrewed the taillight and found the wire which is operates the reverse lights on the taillight (I believe this was the grey wire) I used a wire tap to join both lights. So when the Jeep is shifted into reverse, power is sent to the taillights and also the lights in the rear bumper! Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
ok thanks
Never showed how you ran/hid the wires from the leds into the brake housing compartment without wires being visible
What's the cut out size?
I am not 100% sure as I made this video almost 2 years ago. I used the back of the light to make a template which I recommend you do as well. hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Can you update video and show them at night?
Thanks for the comment Serg Kaizen I am working on a video right now as we speak which shows the rear LEDs at night. I also intend to do a review video of all the LED lights I have installed so far! Thanks for watching!
So I got some of these lights and installed according to Dex's video. All went well except when trying to bolt them in from behind the bumper. A little more detail would have been helpful and I'm guessing it was a bitch which is why it wasn't shown. I came up with a different way to access the screws from the rear by cutting in a little door behind each light.
hi can you send me all the accessories that u need to install the lights thanks
+Alejandro Rios Thanks for the comment Alejandro! You will need 2 flush mount LED's check the description, 4 bolts & nuts and a dremel. The wiring is pretty simple. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
+AdventureDex thanks my friend ✌🏻️
I don't think it was mentioned what to do with the red wire.
Do u no the measurements of the template?
+robert nocera Thanks for your comment bro, unfortunately I do not have the template anymore so I cannot give you the measurements. However, the template was homemade anyway and you can make one yourself. I simple used some stare cardboard and flipped the flush mount led face down and traced the faceplate onto the cardboard. Then I measured the lip of the faceplate of the led and the led square to get the measurement for the center which the back of the led needs to slide into. I hope this makes sense!! Thanks for watching!
+AdventureDex thank u
you should get a tire cover for the back tire
I like how to tire looks exposed!
I dont see where it says what type of lights they are

Just tried now my reverse light don't work
Might be a connection issue! Use a 9v battery to test the connections and you should be able to find the problem if you trace the wire until you find the issue! Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Useless.so wht color did u splice the blk wire to
Lights looks great but its not a good idea to power your led lights with the factory reverse light circuit. Its not designed to handle that much current.
Instead use the 12v from factory reverse light circuit to trigger a relay, then connect the relay to your led bumper lights. This would involve running a single +12v wire to the battery though.
Thanks for your comment Shane Dass I am not an electrician but do have a general concept of how things work. What you're saying makes perfect sense. I have been planning on purchasing a Spod and use that as the main source for all the additional LED's. I hope am correct in assuming that this would resolve any power distribution issues. Thanks for watching!
The spod should work fine.
Thanks again for your input Shane Dass Thanks for watching
LEDs don’t draw that much. Probably less than your factory backup lights. You’ll be ok.
Can you show a picture or video in the dark
+Nick Mossey Thanks for the comment! Follow me on Twitter, Facebook or IG and id be happy to post any photos you might want to see! Thanks for watching!
Dude. You need to power these on with a relay. Those wires are far too small to carry that amperage.
You could also wire them to a switch to piss off tailgaters 😂
haha Yea! Thanks for watching!! #jeepwave
AdventureDex great vid!
AdventureDex what do you think is the best cat back exhaust system? I want good sound and tone but I also want it to be not in danger of smashing on rocks
FYI those connectors are junk.. you will have problems with them. great video though up until you used those connectors
+Adam Adam Thanks for your comment! I agree but at the time of making the video that was all i knew...I have since learnt to solder and gotten proper crimp tools to use with butt connectors. In my newer video, you will see these being used instead. Thanks for watching!!
+AdventureDex whats the best way to connect to the tail light if the connectors are no good
+robert nocera Thanks for the question. The best way to connect any electrical wiring is by Soldering. If you do not have the equipment to solder or know how to solder a very reliable way is to use butt connectors and a crimp tool to ensure a secure connection. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
+AdventureDex thanks
