Has anyone, ( I'm sure they have ) put flush mounted tail lights in their
CJ, or YJ. Questions are, what brand, do you need the flasher, and what did
you do about back up light???
I've gone through 3 lenses and 2 sets of lights on my CJ, not to mention
one fiberglass tub corner, so I got aluminum corners, no light cutouts, so I
want to flush mount the lights. I was going to just flush mount the regular
jeep tail lights, but that puts the back up light in the wheel well,
although that might be nice if changing a tire in the dark, not much good
for backing up. Are back up lights mandatory ?, ( Canada, but I'm sure the
same in US ) I don't realy care if I have them, but don't want to gdt pulled
over for it.

You won't get pulled over for not having backup lights. You could be
pulled over for having backup lights not turn off when on the roa, since
most areas forbid white lights at the rear of a vehicle while on the road.

Why don't you mount the LED lights they use on semi trailers? They have
running & brake/signal integrated in one housing in a variety of sizes.
They're not cheap, but as long as your lights are burning out instead of
getting broken, they're not any more expensive ocer the long run. Of
course if you're breaking them, LEDs will break too and cost you a
boatload more money to replace every time one gets smashed.
