Now I'm thinking these may be the best, after Loba brought up the others:Attachment 285226
I did not use plastic housing, the leds are water proof . I made a foam gasket for between lense and flat bar. and bolted flat bar to mounting tabs on bumper.

Yeah I am still not sure what to use the lights for. I am starting to think maybe this is the best route.

Ya I like the looks of that bumper. But I dont like how they complicated all the running lights. The bumper does seem to cause some issues with the OEM lights. But it looks silly when viewed from straight on. And you can see all those running lights. Deleting the ARB running lights is an improvement. But deleting the OEM running lights would look the best.

So basically, you want them to be on anytime the Jeep is running?. Just wire them to an accessory circuit.

No, because I did the side marker mod I felt one more thing blinking wouldn't add any utility.
