Then I measured the light housing and 4" square is what I came up with. So I found 4" square LED fender post mount for a semi.
Took them apart.
Made a template, Marked the tail light and used a Dremel to do the cut out.
Removed interior compartment walls.
Siliconed them, then aftre about 12 hours tightened them down snug.
And then Installed them.
A few short videos.

Yeah the right tools and a shop some magic can really happen. I just did the rear disc brake conversion on my 01 xj and it's my favorite mod so far. Pulled parts off a 95 grand. Took me about 3 hrs

You need the backing plate that the calipers bolt on to, rotors, calipers, and the section on brake line That connects to the caliper. Of course the nuts and bolts. You will also have to shave a bit off the center of backing plate to widen the hole so it slips over your axel tube. Also bleed brakes possibly. I used a dremel with the red stone to grind the backing plate center
