[QUOTE="Rich1961, post: 465248, member: 25526"] I wanted to provide an update to my bumper upgrade that I installed a few weeks ago, in case someone else does this upgrade. I purchased a Rubicon Steel factory winch bumper off of a 23 JL Wrangler that had factory LED Foglights. Due to the JK's Canbus system that uses Pulse Width Modulation, the factory JL LED Fogs will not work correctly, even though they use the same electrical connector/plug that the JK uses. In order for them to work correctly you must use an adapter that has an anti-flicker module.

I did quite a bit of searching online and finally was able to find an adapter bracket. This bracket enables you to mount the original JK 4 screw mount fogs to the JL Rubicon 2 bolt mount system.
