I needed to set up a lighting system to tow the Rubicon behind the F250, but I didn't want to go with a magnetic set or mess with the diodes to use the existing lighting, so I created my own set up.

First I mount 36" of 1.25" square aluminum tubing to the tire carrier

The I used my old tail lights since I replace them with LEDs. I had to run a ground wire through them for the 4-pin flat connector. I then wired a 4-pin flat connector to each light then connected them to a 4-pin 'Y' harness so they can connect to the F250.

I then mounted them to some 1" square aluminum tubing. These will telescope into the permanently mounted tubing above and pinned with loop wire lock pins.

Here they are mounted on the Jeep.

Genius, I like it a lot! Great way to recycle the old taillights too!
