I Picked up some lens from pep-boys they are called "Racers Edge Safety Reflectors" Basically they are oval shaped red plastic reflectors just like the lens on a car mounted in a black plastic housing. I cut out most of the back of the housing then used double sided sticky tape to attach it to the body. I then used a body reamer to make a hole big enough for a piece of fuel tubing to be used to hold the LED in place. I used shoe goo to hold the fuel tube and led in place. This is the result: I'll get up some how to pic's if interested and also some better shots of just the reflectors and some day time shot of the body for the full effect. |

That looks really good and much better looking than just putting a light behind a sticker. Good job!

Update: Lights still working great. I'll probably use them on any build they fit. Jeep, maybe blazer. |

That is a great look!! Looks just like the Grote lights I used for taillights on my 1:1 Bronco. I'm gonna see if I can find those. We don't have a Pep Boys around here so I'll check the other chains. |

I bought them from the pep boys in san diego. I'm in GA now so I can look about. As for the round ones I can't say maybe a half inch, not sure. These are usually located in the section near trailer lights, and reflectors. That's what they are reflectors. |
