Default reverse lights intergrated in to the rear bumper

saw a truck driving earlier this week that looked to be running a stock rear bumper, but had lights intergrated into it just wondering if there is a kit out there (been looking cant seem to find one) or if anyone has done this to there truck thanks

i was tempted to, but was a little reluctant to cutting my bumper and fabbing up some lights, but now that i have lights back there, i wouldn't mind going through all that.
No kit as far as I know. it's a custom job. One thing I was a little worried about was cutting the bumper and having rust streaks appear from the cut. You'd have to properly seal up the cut to stop infection...lol

I am planning to cut my bumper for my exhaust, why not for lights? Sounds like a neat idea with the right lights.

I was thinking about the same thing about 2 months ago.

This. You will get those gross dark streaks running down the bumper unless u seal it right. and its not like you can just paint the cuts as its chrome.

Why couldn't you just paint them? Any light will have some sort of flange around it. Just make sure to prep/mask off such that the paint is under that flange.
