Default Taillight Boxes

Or can they be easily made?

JCR Offroad have some nice ones, but you will need to add some auxiliary reverse lights to keep things legal.

oh i might have a go at makeing some of these (http://www.jcroffroad.com/Merchant2/...y_Code=XJArmor), with the light boxes. should be fairly easy, just cut and fold some 2mm steel and bolt it on. i think the JCB 1s are 4.5mm but that sounds way overkill and way to heavy (is my conversion right, 3/16=4.5mm??). ill try take some photos and measurements for yall if we got some plate at the workshop.
wat place would sell some LED lights cheap for this?? i would prob want to use 3 lights, a tail/brake, a blinker and a reverse.
