I flexed my front and my market lens came shooting out in front of my jeep (caught on the GoPro too).. Not sure what year you have, but the '12's have a plug about 12 inches up the tail.. LED rock lights would be cool so I saved the plug off of my markers when I removed them.. I figured I could use some heavy duty Velcro on LED's and stick them on my inners when I need them and just plug them in.. I know, an awesome idea....:-)

Here is a really crappy pic of where I mounted my marker light, after I ripped the lens off..

The general consensus around here seems to go with keeping the inners so ill definitely go that route.. And that would be some awesome video to see lol. Also just so happens I do have a 2012 JKUR so what's this plug you speak off I didn't really get it off the bat there.. marker lights are also required in canada (I'm from Ontario) but are rarely enforced.. Now our local pickledicks in blue are not fans of jeeps and would be happy to think otherwise. So having said that. Would wheelwell LEDs technically play the role of markers... I figured if it'll work in the states it'll definitely work in canada

Sorry also forgot to ask, but yes.. Any details would be a great help. The write ups I have seen are very vague with the rears and only focus on fronts... And lastly I have also heard of people using the leftover plastics from the bumpers and making simple caps that get epoxy'd on.. The reason I ask is I'm not much of a fan of the boxed look on the ends but running open looks just a bit incomplete... Do you know anyone that has attempted this before and if it worked out

Stock bumper was waay too wide. So after only 2200 miles I did a little cutting and some VDP caps. Much better now.
