Jim's lights are 15w, I used a pair of 10w units. I mounted in the bumper but they could easily be mounted ( come with hardware) on the bumper. They are floods and with dimpled lens. They really light up the ground and by luck rather than planning the beam pattern works really well in my install. Despite what it looks like in the pics in link, they aren't too glaring. https://shufti.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/vanagon-the-ongoing-rear-bumper-build-back-up-lights/ Btw, bumper painted and finished now.
