    I just bought a real sharp newer tractor, I've been an o/o for 4 years and I was running an old century class before, now I have a custom painted chromed out nice truck I want to add some neon lights, I know red or blue isn't a good idea, but I was thinking of led under the sleeper and in the front wheel wells, I currently have some red and purple in the cab that are very dim but it's kinda cool driving at night with them on, I have a low rider seat, and I am just looking for advice, I've seen other nice trucks with under glow neon going down the roads at night, I want to do this tastefully, any ideas???

    Then why bother asking? Just add whatever YOU think will make that kid in you happy.

    lol yeah I was just being stupid.
    It's cool to reach a point to be able to do what you wanted to as a kid.
    I always thought extra truck lights looked cool and seen some sexy trucks.
    This thread reminded me of that decked out Kenworth at the Iowa 80 truck stop

    Well I keep my tractor well maintained, I am super super serious about Maintenence, I have a 60x40 shop and I do most work myself, and I know having some extra lights will draw attention for revenue hounds, but I don't want something tacky looking rolling down the road, I.e what kind of consensus can I get to among a group of people, I don't want very bright lights, dim led under sleeper and front wheel well, what color would be good??? My truck is red and silver, I know red and blue is out of the question from what I've researched, what about a dim purple? If it wasn't for laws I would do a very dim red underglow, what color would possibly look good???

    Years ago I had a friend that did that. Wheel wells, lights on the cross members underneath. I'm not in to that, but it does look cool. A word of caution. Red and blue is not only a bad idea, it's against the law. (at least in Wis.) You can't have an "official" color ( red or blue) on your vehicle. I know, because, same friend had blue lights on the back of the sleeper, got stopped and a trooper made him take them out.
