"custom" flareside taillights?

Has anybody done anything different with the tail lights on your flareside? I want to put my lights somewhere that looks decent, still puts out plenty of light, and is most of all protected from limbs, small trees, and other forest hazards. I'm going to replace or custom build a new rear bumper so that's an option but exactly how and where is another question. Is there somewhere else to relocate it to that ya'll have seen or done? Thanks for any ideas on this, I don't want to have to worry about my lights being there wheen I get back from playing in the woods.

Make a set that mounts in the receiver hitch with disconnects. When you go four wheelin, you can remove them completely.

mount a set of these into your bumper.they are water proof and easy to change.thats why i put them on my truck,and the reason i mounted them inboard was so road debris wouldn't hit the back side.
