possible taillight game changer?

I always hoped someone came out with a metal panel that held LED bulbs and bolted in when I had mine.   I picked up a spare set of factory ones, just in case a tree ran in my way.   Now that I think of it, I still have that set sitting in my garage if anyone needs a set.  I think one had the lens separate from the housing, so it's rtv'd back together.

 

 

Rusty's came out with one.  apparently the fit was poor and was still more expensive than a spare set of factorys.  They no longer make it.

I bought two of the Rusty's metal light fixtures when they were on closeout.

 

I'm going to use one on the MJ that's already beat up and will be mostly for trail use.

 

Not sure what I'm going to do with the other set yet.  I'm inclined to use actual tail lights on my other MJ that will be intended for more street use.

@derf can you post a picture of Rusty's light housings? Thanks.

They are mirror images of each other.

 

They have pockets for the side screws.  They take a standard oval trailer light.  The side is curved to match the profile of the bed side if I'm not mistaken.
