Default Flush mount pods in bumper?

Has anyone tried to put flush mount led pods in the rear bumper? I love how they look on newer trucks but not sure if they would work on our round bumpers. Post some pics of your rear lighting the stock backup lights suck!

The work great. And we're easy to angle. I didn't have to take the bumper off either. You just have to be careful with your cuts. There's not much wiggle room the give you but as long as you're careful you'll love them.

I put some cheaper Amazon ones in my bumper. They are insanely bright and are a flood beam so when backing I can see the light spread while looking in my mirrors.

These look perfect sir. I might have to try this out. How much did they set you back? How did you make your cuts?

They were a little cheaper ($24.99) when I got them. I used an angle grinder and a lot of patience when cutting the bumper. There's tutorials on this forum somewhere, just search for flash mount bumper lights (or something adding that live)

I bought mine (Heise) but haven't installed them yet. I probably won't get around to it for a few months.

Nice pic, but does not help at all for the 10th gen bumpers. OP knows they look nice on a flat bumper, wants pics on the 10th gen curved bumpers.
