Building my own flush tail lights

[Justinswidebody]

Figured I would share my progress, and would love criticism, likes, ideas, other style lights, let me have it all......

Keep in mind this is still in prototype stage. Still have to add side markers. Make a finer 3d printed housing. Current housing is ruff draft quality for fast print times .​

You could make a killing just selling the 3d printed shells and allowing people to use any Oval style light or similar in it. I would be one of those people!

I plan on making a design for the oval lights, 2" circle harley motorcycle lights, and a few of these style tail lights. With the 2" circle harley lights I plan on using three lights stacked on each side. Top red , middle white for reverse and bottom red. I'll attach a picture of one I was playing with inside a oval light.

That's awesome, Would you explore printing these for forum members in the future? Or perhaps sharing the template? How did you handle affixing the panels/housing to the jeep? I vaguely remember some of the flush mounts that manufactures make are prone to breaking. There's also the ORO lights which were a big hit on the JK's, though at ~5 inches I dont think we have enough real estate to make them work.

There's a chance I might. Might even give the files away to everyone to print their self. But last time I did that, people started selling them.

At the moment they are bolted in with the two bolts like factory, and I made the rear slip into a grove I designed. Might rework this but I actually like it.

I think these will be the coolest lights to use. I have a set, and will start working on them very shortly.

Ah okay that looks much stronger than the normal way the flush mounts are done by manufacturers.

Very nice. Way to do something actually productive and then post it. Hat tip.

I get Rivian vibes --neither good or bad from my perspective, just noteworthy. Maybe as a result of the forum ads.

Now that you mention it, I can totally see the front headlight of the rivian lol.

I encourage all to think of any tail light style they can think of and share. I would love a lot more ideas.

Very cool project. I look forward to seeing it progress.

From measurements, it looks like the biggest round tail light I can fit would be a 4 inch tail light

Pretty Awesome IMO! Keep it up!

[Justinswidebody]

Here's what 4 inch round would look like

I expected this to be an absolute joke of a thread with a clueless OP.


I am pleasantly surprised to find out that I am completely wrong.

OP sell those and ill buy them, way better than that absolute *bullshit* that ORACLE is putting out.
