Does anyone make LED's with a built in reverse light other then the ORO Lite Dots? I don't really want to pay $200 for lights and also want to avoid having seperate tail and reverse lights. Thanks in advance.

sorry dont have the answer to this but i bought a 4" hole saw that i wont be using ever again so anyone is welcome to borrow it to cut holes in the body. I dont have the pilot bit cause i used the one from work.
Also i dont have back up lights. i find the LEDs enough when backing up at night. Then again i dont have a license plate light either and that hasnt gotten me in trouble. A cop stopped me late one night and used that as an excuse but no ticket. I like that they check to make sure my jeep hadnt been stolen when its that late. (3am) If i ever get a ticket please disregard all that ive said :)

Here is the link I sent to a few others on here, the webshots you can go to Jeep mods and see them. No cutting no drilling and about an hour and half install. and the steel corners are from Jeep and take about the same time to install.
Here is the link for the tail lights just copy and past in your address bar or go to www.northridge4x4.com and serch DOT Tail lights. any problems let me know.
You may need to cut and paste

These lights do have the back up lights in them. With no cutting.

It doesn't look like they are flush mount LED's. They surface mount and stick out about an inch.

The ones Northridge sells are the ORO Lite Dots, which cost $200. That is what I don't want to do, spend $200 on stupid lights. I am looking for an alternative round LED with a builtin backup light that aren't $200. I have PSC trail corners with the round LED cutout so I definately need a round LED. Are there any others?

D-Dub,
I am in the same boat as you and have searched and searched for just what you want. Can't find it. I have decided to hole saw 2" white back-up LEDs under the 4" Stop/Tail/Turn lights (I'm going with the black-out light with red LEDs). http://store.vehiclelight.com/index.html seems to have the best selection on the web of LEDs and grommets and pigtails. If you find that all in one flush mound LED soon let me know. Have you installed your corners yet? Maybe we should have a corner/LED install party.

Hold the phone guys!!!! Why do you want to go cutting up your pretty new corners? Why do you want a back up light so bad? To see or to be leagle? I've never known anyone to get in trouble for no backup lights. You really do need a plate light though. If you want to see, mount two small driving lights back there on/under/around your bumper (rock light syle). Looks way better then two holes in your new corners and these will give you much better lighting. Just my two pennies.

No, I haven't installed them yet. I ordered them from PSC a little while ago, but still haven't received them in the mail yet. When are you installing yours?

My reasons for installing reverse lights in to be able to see, legality, and it helps you from being hit by another car in a parking lot. I don't really want to install extra lights all over the jeep, that is why I am putting flush mount LEDS in. I want it to look clean.

I have my corners (but lack the install bolts). I am waiting on my LEDs now. If I have time on Saturday I'm going to start the install. When do you expect your's in?

Not sure exactly, hopefully soon. What company did you go with?

I also bought Poison Spyder, but I ordered them through Performance Offroad. I still don't have my flush bolts so I won't be working on them this weekend. Maybe next week... I bought my LEDs from http://www.vehiclelight.com/ . I also bought the bolts with LEDs in the center from http://www.superbrightleds.com/ to use for my license plate lights.

Yeah I was wondering what I was going to do about my license plate light, but those bolts are the answer. Thanks for the info.
