    Seriously, as long as we're not on the subject, why on Earth do people put 600 lights all over their truck? Does that make it go any faster? I love it when I see a rolling equivalent of a Las Vegas casino sign rolling down the interstate. I mean really guys, come on! :)

    Is this what we're shooting for here?

    that pic is of a truck from another country.......And in this country guys put lights on there trucks because they look good....DUH! Now I don't think that every inch of a truck and or trailer should be covered in lights and there is a point where theres to many. But a few chicken lights here and there make a truck stand out from the crowd.

    To a certain extent, extra lights than what is from the factory looks good. However, there must not be too many, none in stupid places, and they all must work!!
    I hate the pretty row of amber LEDs on a bumper with 1 burnt out lol.

    Whats the matter with a few extra lights if it makes the truck/tlr look good. Does it bother you all that much?

    The ones I like the best, but dont see that often are the light on the a pillar inside the cab. I have seen a few that were purple, and some with blue, or other unusual light colors.

    That picture looks like the ones in Japan! There was a TV special about them.
    The crazy thing is they are illegal. BUT, if the truck is inspected and they are not on it then the truck will pass inspection! These guys are all O/O's and so they remove the lights before they go to their yearly inspection and then put them back on! Waaaay to much work for me!
