Default Building corner armor, what lights to use?

I recently smashed my passenger tail light assembly and when it happened it pushed the rear corner in quite a bit, so myself and a friend are building a set of corner armor for my 2door.

This is what brings me to the question. For those who have changed their set up and are now running and led that is set into the body, what are you running? Does it contain a brake light/turn signal and reverse light all in one?

Any photos of you set up is greatly appreciated. Thank you for you time and hope someone can chime in.

I will post another thread when we begin building them. Picking up steel tomorrow.

Look at what Poison Spyder, Off Road Evolution, River Raider, Rampage, and OR-Fab have done with their corners and light options.

I haven't done corners yet, other than the AEV ones. Don't know if I'll just add to the AEV or buy a set of corners.

The JK tub isn't strait around the corners. So, you either need to build off something stamped, like the AEV, or form a cap to cover the gap created when building your own, like the EVO.

I just picked up a set if poison spider crusher corners today. They offer three options: no cut outs, 1 or 2. You can get Led lights that act as running, brake and blinker but not back up. That's where the 2nd cut out comes in.

I ran the lite dots with the river raider corners.

Go to farm & fleet or find a midway truck parts they will have led lights with brake and turn. I picked up my 4" round clear lens lights at midway truck in Champaign. Midway can order anything you want.

Here is the single hole style, I ran my backup lights in the bumper. The two hole style there is a second smaller hole that is below the hole for the brake light.
