Here are the close ups. Bought 4 4.5 watt 120 deg eagle eye LEDs. About 800 lumens each. Directly tapped soldered and liquid taped them to reverse wires in light housing. The lights are attached to Jeep by inside two screws on fixture. The outside two screws only hold on the piece that mold around the edge of jeep. I bored out and tapped the holes to same size of LED lights threads and screwed them in. I believe it was 3/8. Regardless there is more then enough plastic to bore out and directly thread into light fixture. I also tapped the holes so they actually screw into the plastic. I then used outdoor flexible window chalk to affix and seal the outside light mold since screw are gone. They throw plenty of light to see out the back and through the smoked glass (which is really why I did them) however they are more than enough for trail applications. I was originally going to put the four in the bumper but when it took the light out to map wires decided it was way too easy to bore out the screw holes. Particularly since they were not being used to attach lights to body. Plus since they are in the stock light themselves, they look stock-ish so I am not worried about Johnny law hassling me for using aftermarket reverse lights. They are bright enough that people look and get the heck out of the way when I'm backing up in a crowded parking lot.

Drill Door Handles
I know this has been done but I just did mine. Used steel angle from Home Depot (stuff used to mount electric garage door openers) for the template. Make sure you put metal behind the handle so you don't scuff or drill through the door behind the handle. Don't forget to do the tailgate as well.
