Got rid of stock bumper years ago. They do seem to make the rear more visible though.

I had them on our 06 LR3 that I sold. They looked good for awhile, but eventually yellowed.

I put the smoke ones on circa...2014. They died late last year. Given their cost, I thought that was a decent enough deal. Will likely replace at some point-just haven't gotten around to it.

I'm thinking I'll go white for the extra backup light.
Was also the nite ize flush mount LEDs that are about the same price on Amazon and look much more powerful. Looks like there's a good spot to mount them in the corner of the bumper.

I assume you've already replaced the bulbs in the tail lights?

I added lights on the back of my rack-big help.

 

[scottymcdonald]

I haven't. on my last truck I did swap out the OEM tail lights for what we're supposed to be super bright LEDs and didn't really make any difference. Are you guys finding something better for the lr3 s?

 

[Ray_G]

Yes.

All of it is my build threat, among others who have done it.

 

[scottymcdonald]

Hey Ray,

Got a link to those taillights?

 

[Ray_G]

Did you not find it in the build thread, circa 2015?

 

[scottymcdonald]

Found the post but the link is dead.

 

[Ray_G]

Well crap.

From my Amazon order history, it is these-we have used them in LR3s and LR4s to decent effect. Doing what you are doing with the bumper lights is good too, I prefer to have some mounted high casting light far off the rack but anyway you slice it more light is good.

Do you remember if you had to pull the bumper cover off install them? or will you be able to fish at through existing holes? Did you have to drill a new hole in the bumper for the wires?

 

[johnny-bones]

I’m curious as well it seems pretty straight forward. Also how long is the wiring on these bulbs

 

[Ray_G]

Absolutely no need to remove bumper cover. I ran wires down from the taillights and fished them through the steel bumper.

This isn't worth overthinking; it's $25 and an hour of wiring (w/half that being drinking and figuring out which wires to tap for what)
