I'm pretty sure there is an O-ring seal in the back of the foglight housing where the bulb goes in.

We have the same exposed plug conditions on our International plow trucks. Ive seen them run days straight with 4 inch of ice buildup on them and never have any issue. Then we wash, power wash, and rinse and repeat all winter long. Never a problem. After that its Asphalt season where they get 2 inches of Asphalt buildup on them till fall.

I am waiting for my Sport S delivery and now I'm wondering (since I plan on putting the Mopar Rubi fender flares on it in order to accommodate larger tires)...won't these things have to be removed--and not fit back on--with the higher fender flares?

They will still "fit" but not function quite the same. That's if you still want them after reading all the negative comments about them. The flares have nothing to do with the fit of these extensions as they only bolt to the bumper. The function diminishes because you will create a gap by adding the high flares.

Well good to know they are removable then. Thanks

I took these pictures at a dealer today on a JLU Sahara with the plastic bumpers. Who will be the first to figure out what it takes to order these plastic rear fill pieces and install them to close it up more?

So the plot thickens.

Fog lights exposed on Sport bumpers but enclosed on Sahara bumper. Also exposed on Rubi steel bumpers.

Do the Sport/Sahara/Rubi all share the same plastic bumper other than cosmetic trim?

Sahara and Rubi do (MBA). Sport is a different bumper (MB1).

Ah, I see. It's the grey plastic that connects the bumper to the fender on sport models.
