Hey @ORACLElights - I'm not sure if anyone has asked this but it would be awesome if your design accommodates some kind of guard - there are lots of ways to do this but only you know how to build it in. I'm thinking of something that would prevent an errant branch from cracking the light. Not something that would protect from a bolder scrape...

This is an example of a corner light guard made for classic range rovers - the more modern versions for Landrover Discovery's came in plastic which was not as effective but didn't rust either which is important for us mall crawler types... I'm just saying that if you can design a solution with this kind of protection you could easily charge idiots like me $150 or so for something that will cost you $2 to make out of plastic, or $10 out of metal... and I suspect a lot of people would add this to their light order. Think of it as the upsell product where you make real cash on captured customers.
I like your idea, and I do think that there are many other people that would want this, however I think it would just bring the taillights' profile back to a non-flush look. I personally want it as streamlined/flush-mount as possible. So the good news is, to each their own.... Make your Jeep whatever YOU want it to be.

I hear you - could I summarize the difference as "absolutely flush" vs "mostly flush"? I agree that "absolutely flush" solves the rock bash problem (see one of the pics at the beginning of this thread).

I know everyone wants perfectly flush mount but, I personally think the fact it protrudes a little is consistent with the jeep's quirkiness. To me, perfectly flush would be too generic. The do look good.

Dont forget to release the 3d printer file for the "accessory" cover!
