I'm surprised my bumper isn't getting any love. It looks like for the next DIY contest I need to buy parts of the shelf and install them and not make something from scratch.
The ones that I have work well. If anyone who had them and thought that the light was to bright I wonder if you were to use tinting spray to make it darker, it should work. This is the cleanest looking way to install license plate lighting in my opinion.
If I remember right its either 1in. or 1 1/8. Measure the plastic housing with a tape measure. Just an FYI cutting the holes is a little tricky. Each one of the OEM sensor housings has a different key way. When I built my bumper I went through this. Look at the back of the plastic housing and...

Here is the bumper that I recently completed. I had the idea in my head of what I wanted it to look like, and here it is. I wanted to have a bumper that looked different than most bumpers out there, and at the same time has the same features as ours do. I have seen a lot of aftermarket rear...
The run was a really good time. Well worth the trip.
My only issues were a sidewall puncture and another tire going down at the same time with 5 miles left in the run. Looks like I backed over something unseen.
