Ahh, thank ya! I do the insert image deal, and put the full http blah blah address in, but no dice.

 

well i guess they can not say they did not see ya coming

 

jeez man, ya got more lights than my 379

 

WOW.... be carefull man, the UFO's can see you now!

 

I didnt get the CB handle "Rhinestone cowboy" fer nuthin!
lol, thats what im going for, 9 LED cab lights up top, im going to do something with the stock marker/signals in the grill, preferably a custom bumper to move those to and replaced with those flashing arrow blinkers, n more lights in that bumper, a few in the wheel weels, some flap lights, N a blue LED in each headlight.
Oh and in replacement of the factory grill markers, I want to put those aftermarket 2nd gen fog lights.
I THINK that covers it.

I would love to fabricate a Gangster drop visor, but im not sure how that would turn out.

 

I hope you're running all those lights off a relay. Don't want to let the magic smoke out of the headlight switch...

 

OH yeah, I have each side on its own 30 AMP relay. I have the rest of the stuff, (I think) to finish off the headlight relays too. Greg and I may be doing that this weekend.

 

There is not near enough on there yet...... Looks good

 

hehehehe i know it! I am going to do the LED cab light conversion some day and in the process I am going to add 4 more up top for a total of 9 cab lights, plus when the rear mud flaps go on, i have some more lights for the hanger, i think 6 per side. hehehe, I didnt get the CB handle Rhinestone cowboy" fer nuthin!

 

I always wire any extra lights through an entirely seperate circuit, with a seperate switch, that has absolutely nothing to do with the factory lights.

I also wire trailer markers on a circuit/switch of their own.

On my Ford/Cummins, I have a dedicated fuse-box for all the auxilliary markers on the truck.

Each group of lights has it's own fuse in that box; then, the big wire that feeds the box has a big fuse to protect the rest of the truck.

If something goes wrong, anywhere in the system, it will shoot only the fuse to that particular string of lights, making it much easier to trace down where the problem is.

I have a similar system in place under the neck of my Sunday trailer that works the same way.

One of many advantages to this is that, should something short out in the trailer lights, I only lose the ones that are on that fuse, and still have plenty of working lights to keep me from getting run over.
