Back of sleeper lights

If you don't tear out the interior how are you going to run your power to the lights ? How are you going to ground them ?

 

If you don't drill where the Hucks are you will be OK....

 

JUst stay away from the rivets.

 

Thats right, then buy the correct size hole saw, get'r done, and post pics!

 

stay an inch or so away from the rivet lines, use the correct hole saw, seal them up good and you will be in bussiness. good luck.

 

Just a thought, have you thought about just mounting them to your cab extenders? There is little chance of screwing that up. Finding a good ground can sometimes be a pain and the wiring is more exposed, but a good clean job can still be done and I like being able to see down the sides of a trailer when backing or loading. Some states require a cap over rearward work lights when not in use. Again just a thought.

 

I love the way it lights up the trailers bulkheads since most of them are stainless on all my trucks i use 4" LED stop lights and i use the wire from the stop light and ignore the marker wire use heat shrink and add some chrome bezels and good to go, but last month one of my drivers got pulled in the truckee scales in the horrible state of California and got a $75 fine for having the lights behind the sleeper on. I talked to the stubborn DOT officer and he said that the truck was not backing up and they lights weren't clear. I wasn't gonna waste my time arguing with him over the phone so i paid the fine and ever since i have kept away from CA, other states have not given me any trouble i asked the officer in the Amarillo chickenhouse and he said that as long as they are red its good but once you start using purple dots, blue lenses or any other color lenses im gonna have trouble with the law. Well im sorry i dint mean to write a whole essay in your post but i gotta go finish washing the trailer, good luck and i hope your project comes out looking great
