Tail lights recommendation and bumper upgrade

3791RD, flat panel rear: I am looking to convert the factory tail lights to an exact fit LED. Any recommendations ? I don't have the unit home at the moment and can't measure the current size of the lights now. I'm guessing 5" x 9".

I am also considering a different bumper In place of the square one. Any recommendations on an aftermarket rear bumper that isn't the 4"x 4" would be appreciated. I've had a hard time finding anything other than the 4"x4" tread plates. We have had a rear cap in our past model's however the 3791RD doesn't offer that option so I want to just spruce up the look of the rear!

I just recently swicthed mine out to LED and used these
http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Ligh...47-84-610.html
They are slightly larger than the originals but are a lot nicer looking and much brighter.
You do need to add a separate license plate mount but not a big issue at all
Don't have a picture but will try to post one when I get a chance
If your originals look like this

The dimensions are 8-3/4" x 4-1/2"
If your looking for something else the above site has a pretty good selection

Look at all the choices on etrailer.com and go for it...unless you want to put a rear cap on from a trailer savage yard. John

Ok, thanks guys. I have considered a rear cap addition however the 3791RD is tall in the rear. It maintains the same height as the front all the way back. That's why Keystone probably does not offer a rear cap option.

Gcasta, I have looked at those. I think I am going to order them. Do the screw holes match up with the factory holes? Also I notice they are a 3 wire per light set up. Im just guessing current set up may be a 2 wire set up. What do you do with the third if that is the case?

One wire is for ground, one for tail and one for turn and brake. It does not match up to the original holes since the other light is slightly smaller and different pattern. What I did was fill the old holes with a bit of epoxy. You can't see then since this light is big enough to cover them up. I did check this before doing anything else
