I just mounted SR-Q's with the rigid tail light brackets. Wired up on a 3 - way switch. I can snap a few pictures in the morning and if you need any info feel free to ask.

Just 3 small pilot holes in the top of each tail light for the brackets to get screwed down and a small notch for the wire to run behind it. Also, a small hole in the dash for the switch. I used the wiring harness from rigid and mounted my relay under the dash. The power and ground wires run through the little foam hole. I ran the driver side light wires under the trim and carpet all the way to the back and through the grommet and into the tail light housing. I did the same for the passenger side. I'll run out and snap a few pictures here in just a minute.

Relay mounted behind the dash under the driver side speaker. 2 of 3 wires you see are the power and ground, the 3rd wire is power to my switches on the a-pillar and not related to the reverse lights.
Bracket mounted to the top of the tail light and the notch for the wire.
This grommet is in the back corner of the jeep on each side by the roll bar. Just pull the carpet back and they are easy to find.
The only other wire I didn't mention is the wire that taps into the factory reverse wire and runs to the switch. I used a T - tap on the factory reverse wire, when you pull the tail light off and disconnect the harness, there is part of the harness inside the hole where the tail light sits and that is where I got the factory reverse wire.

Last night I installed some Amazon.com: Genssi 2x 80W CREE White 3157 3057 High Power LED 12V Turn Signal Brake Reverse: Automotive
I can't imagine needing extra light, these things are SUPER bright. I do plan on wiring them to an indendent switch someday when I get a SPOD or equivalent.

Slightly overkill, but... Rigid SRM flush mounts in the tails and 10" LifetimeLED single row flood on rear bumper. All come on in reverse. I did a write up on the Rigid SRMs a while back in the write up section here. Definitely one of my favorite lighting upgrades to date.
