I’ve been hitting refresh all day to check, still says tomorrow 🤬

I was even early to work, so I’d get off work early and have time to play (truck parts coming!)

This hasn’t worked as planned 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😂

I always do the same when I’m expecting something. It’s funny, I got a chuckle from this email I got regarding a shipped order. Your comment about refreshing reminded me of it.

I’ve been thinking about reverse lights lately.

I like the flush mounted lights in the bumper. I have not really looked into it to see if there’s an option that would work, but I had an idea.

You always see guys cutting square/rectangular holes for these lights. I wonder if there’s a flush mount LED shaped right so you could do your cutting with a hole saw. You’d mark your center, drill a pilot hole for the arbor, then cut out with a hole saw.

I have also realized I bought some cheap LED bulbs off Amazon TWO YEARS AGO to replace my reverse light bulbs with and still have not done it 🤦🏻‍♂️

I still haven't got round to fitting mine - though i'm (currently) going to hang them below the bumper, i might be talked into doing flush, but i hate to cut into a perfectly good bumper - Diode Dynamics provide a template and inserts to do all this with, otherwise, the hole drill idea for round lights isn't a terrible one.

My thought was if the light was shaped right, you could have a round hole but the face/mount still rectangular (if that makes sense, it does in my mind).

I don’t think a round light would look right on my truck. I could see it maybe working on older generations that have round fog lights in front.

Probably not, but you'd still need the light to have a surround to sit on that round edge.

The more I think about it, the more I think it won’t work like I described.

You could use a smaller hole saw, make multiple cuts side by side, and make a more rectangular shaped hole that way. I don’t think you’re gaining much doing it that way.

Yeah probably not, here's the way DD say to install their flush mounts (example on a toymota and timestamped)

I also agree, hate to cut a perfectly good bumper but I feel like mounted under is asking to somehow get broken off.

I’m in no hurry to do it, but it doesn’t hurt to brainstorm and daydream.
