Anybody seen a thread or has cut in some of those LED flush pods in the factory rear bumper? The reverse lights on mom's truck suck esp with the tinted windows. Drove it last night for her and had to roll the window down to see. I have some on my Blazer but it has plate bumpers. I just wondered how they look in the factory plastic bumper or do they vibrate and rip out over time. I know I'll have to cut the bumper and a hole in the styrofoam so the recess in. Just don't wanna end up having to replace the cover if they are gonna rip out.

I searched and about the only topics I found was just about swapping in the incan bulbs with LEDs.

Thanks

Any good pics of the installed lights? I never got around to doing this on mom's truck. A smoker build got started first, my lil brother who lives 4 hours away had his first child, plus the lock down. I'm still up in the air if I wanna do the small square lights or the rectangle ones.
