Adding LED back-up lighting

[sgtmajor138]

I recently purchased some inexpensive (cheap) LED lights that I hope to add to my rear bumper to augment the poor back-up lights. Here is what I ordered:

Since these are just over 1 1/4" deep, I want to flush-mount them in the bumper where the factory reflectors are on the Rubicons.
Question 1. Is there enough room behind the plastic to mount such a light? Picture included for exact location.


Question 2. With the low power draw of these lights, can I simply splice into the current back-up light wiring to power these without having to run a power wire and relay?

Any other comments/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Yes, you should have no issues.

Sorry can't answer question 1.

It seems like there should be room.

Oracle makes a set that replace the red reflectors in the Rubicon rear bumper. Might want to compare the specs/sizes of the Oracle version and the ones you bought.

Would you consider a factory steel bumper, more protection and it has pre-drilled holes that are perfect for mounting lights. My old rigids fit well here.

Sport S here. I think they should fit but I am skeptic on adding more draw to a system with the current(amps) aftermarket things might pull. If my calculations are correct it would be about .5amp. I recommend temporarily hooking into the pin and see how they behave first. Not sure on the fuse but should be.

I ran a 6gua power wire to my rear and added a fuse block to power my subwoofers and then added more lighting.

Yeah I’d run dedicated wires,
