You don't need the buckets on those tails. The light assembly alone will work without the buckets and can be nearly flush mounted. You'd need to fill the tail light hole to mount them.
Like I said, I like the isee lights, my only concern is the plastic bracket. Warrior makes metal ones...I'm planning on one day putting Trucklite military tails on the JK

How well can you see them in bright daylight? One of the white tail lights' objectives is to indicate to other people/drivers you are going backwards.

Well, I have skids and armor covering most of my Jeep and it was all purchased for a logical reason. Ripped fenders off on trees, dented the tub, crawl over rocks, etc. So, makes sense to add protection.
When my Jeep even smells a tree nearby, the brake lights basically fall out. It's a crappy design. All I'm saying is why spend a ton of coin on a flawed light design. As far as light goes, what is wrong with the stock lights? Mine turn red when I hit the brake
Maybe I should just ask, what value does one get from those lights? I understand replacing the headlights with something brighter (though I think the stock lights are fine).
I mean, they can be made of titanium, but so long as they stick out and bolt on like the stock lights it doesn't matter. Well, I guess when they fall out from bumping a tree and my buddy drives over it with 40" MTRs, they might not break

Have fun tearing your Jeep all to pieces on trees, rocks, roll overs, wrecks and such....

Bright reverse lights are not needed in the bright of day, only in the dark of night. People see that they are lit and only the perfectly clueless can't see a vehicle backing out or would be focusing solely on reverse lights.

The doctor says, "Then stay out of those places!"
If you are having those concerns, then buy or cobble something you are comfortable with. You need to understand that there are all kinds of Jeepers that don't view their Wrangler or what ever Jeep they drive as something to take out on a trail to bang, roll, rip off the fenders or otherwise destroy.
To them it's a matter of dependable, rugged transportation, a daily driver. You need to respect that.

To the OP, I recently saw these lights this week on a Jeep here in N.J., they are made out of a Polycarbonate plastic so they are "durable". I would not want to hit them against some inanimate object and personally you would just be buying them for the look, the design of the lights does not seem thought out correctly to me and the company probably needs to recuperate their R&D for this light. I would have integrated the reverse lights under the signal light in place of the infrared lights because civilians are not going to ever need those lights unless your buddy has night vision goggles. I also thought that the military light was an actual bucket light, but upon further inspection there was just a metal plate blocking a hole on the back side of the light, and an actual bucket light would be nice for this price range which is $550, and if you think about it you are very close in price with the Genright Corners that have a recessed light, not saying that recessed is the way to go unless you do a lot of tight trails. I just changed mine with a recessed tail light, but that was my preference due crawling tight trails in upstate NY. Personally I think if you want a nice LED that is low profile I would go with the Metal Cloak.

Why do you think these are military gear? I couldn't imagine seeing those on a military vehicle. Why do they need the red plastic over everything if the lights shine red? Reflector laws?
Not trying to hate on them too much- I think they look kinda cool but I would prefer something blacked out I think! And less plasticky if possible , but I know that's tough

The area under the tail light is usually filled with IR (infrared) LED's. That way you can run fully blacked out, but still be able to see the guy in front of you with your NVG's (Night Vision Goggles).
