Nothing fancy here. I used two of Truck-lite's LED 6" oval lights from NAPA. http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs...4967&langId=-1

Cutting ovals in the bumper:



Quick pic of the finished product along with some LEDs in place of the stock bulbs:



I have yet to try them at night so no night shots yet.

Since you brought up the whole night thing. I wanted to see myself too.

These are in a totally dark garage. Sorry about the sub-par iphone pics.

Looks good. Did the lights come with the surround? And is the black surround a rubber gasket?
