Here are those pics i promised..
Not the best cut job at all, but they should work out for those lights i found. These holes are 3.5 x1.5".. Im still gotta figure out where to find the reverse light wiring though, not sure what the PO or PPO did with them after installing this rear bumper. There sure is a rats nest of wiring below the passenger tail light so hopefully the 12v+ lead is in there
ALSO.. Did some body work with 2 tech screws today. The rear quarter panels were cut down for the install of the rear bumper but were never secured etc -- AKA they are super flimsy and make noise when driving on the HWY. 1 screw on each side solved that problem

The reason I went with the small square ones was first there was already a hole on each side of the frame support, and unlike 99% of the cube lights I see mounted on Jeep bumpers that aim straight back, I can angle mine down to actually illuminate the ground directly behind me. You can barely make them out when standing at eye level & if they break it’s just 14.99-20.00 to replace.
I just ran them to a relay & used a lead from the reverse lamp to trigger the relay.
I’d make the holes as big as needed & then re-install the diamond plate (painted black) as a trim piece to cover the larger holes behind it.

I don't have a reverse lamp at all lol.. I do however, have the leads for attaching a trailer.. Would that lamp lead be in that harness?

"When the reverse lamp switch is operated, the switch contact closes and allows current flow on a GN wire, from the switch, through two headers C0287 LHD/C0294 RHD and C0295, to the RH reverse lamp and the LH reverse lamp. The LH reverse lamp is earthed on a B wire to earth header C0707. The RH reverse lamp is earthed on a B wire to earth header C0706. "
So i guess it's a green wire i'm looking for?
