I understand it is a relatively straight forward thing to do, So what I would like to know what extra is needed if anything?

As I use my jimny nearly every day I want to have a really clear picture in my head before I start pulling it too bits!

I want to eventually remove the rear bumper and make my own. :)

Hi mate I havnt done this mod myself as yet but its on my to do list,but I believe its a simple job to do.You will need a couple of bulb carriers as there isnt any in the top light clusters and just re- route the wiring.

Thanks
James

You will want some orange bulbs to replace the clear ones for the reverse lights. You will have spare bulb carriers spare once you take off the rear bumper clusters
Also you will want a fog and reverse light, I currently use trailer units, but I am currently after something a little slimmer.

Yeah that's what I was thinking so thanks for confirming! I'll get on the look out for some nice fog/reversing lights before I get started! :)
