OK last thread you said you were just about broke fixing to lose everything and now we’re talking chicken lights there’s something amiss here?
To chicken light, or not

All the lights were on the truck when I bought it, and it’s a butt connector mess. I always solder and heat shrink my connections, and use grease on all the plugs. The problem with the lights on there now is the plugs are starting to corrode, and wires that are rubbing through their insulation. I have auto reset circuit breakers, so I guess after the wire shorted it would pop the breaker then turn itself back on? Either way I feel it’s better to eliminate the potential problems.
Right now all I have left are the step and sleeper filler panel lights. They’ll stay until they give me problems.
The shop I brought my truck to last year wouldn’t pass me for my annual because of a few accessory lights didn’t work. I had to argue with the bumpkin for a few minutes before over it. That old “if it’s there it must work” thinking just won’t die.kylefitzy Thanks this. -

Those lights look great but are simply more trouble than they are worth. I already have enough work to keep up with.

I think they look good on trucks and it separates you from all the "plain jane" trucks out on the road...Last edited: Jan 18, 2020
