Anyone cut into the Hardtop to flush mount reverse lights?

[Combustion_King]

I considering all locations, high and low; but i am going to mount a flood beam patttern, flush mount DD stage series 2" LED facing reverse, on an aux switch.

I am considering the rear bumper, but was recently thinking maybe the top of the MIC cover on each side, run to a connection that's easy to disconnect when the top come off. or that may be to high, idk.. anyone go this route?

Im looking to go a OEM/stealth as possible.

Im not a fan of flush lights. ZERO ability to ailgn them. If they are aimed too high, ohh well you're locked in. For this reason I have NEVER installed flush lights on any vehicle i've owned or serviced, ever. I don't like them. SURE they look cool and if you are gung-hoe on it, go for it! I stock the lights and sell harnesses. BUT keep the whole "can't align" them in mind.

yea i knew that was an issues, hence why i was going with a flood pattern. I just want a large diffused area behind me for backing up. Im going to be doing some dry runs for sure.

Cutting into a epoxy and cardboard top? Hard pass.

Seal it well.

A quality mount that allowed different make lights to integrate with the rear window hinges...that's what I'd like to see. Not garbage mind you, but quality.

Wouldn’t do it any other way. I’ll hack open shit- but I’m not a hack doing it.

M and R online has several different reverse / chase lights for the Bronco. One I am considering bolts up to the trailer hitch mounting bracket holes. Another mounts to the spare tire. Take a look, may fit your needs.

I’ve looked. I don’t want to see the light honestly. I may go a different direction also, I was hoping for something OEM, and clean but functioning.

I'm not a fan of this but I'd try to modify something like this before cutting a hole in the MIC, either way, good luck!

With all the problems, people have been having with the hard tops, delaminating, cracking, fading, peeling, etc. I wouldn’t do anything to the top three that might bring that on.

Not technically "flush" mounted - but close....

(similar to the spoiler lights posted above, these are separate pods left and right rather than a continuous spoiler across the whole back edge. I prefer that they are a matte finish closely matching the MIC top finish as apposed to the polished "shiny" look of the spoiler. Plus the turn signal animation is a nice touch)
