    Brightside meaning if you have a dual function light such as a tail light that is tail and brake, if you use it somewhere else for more light you would wire it so the brightest bulbs are lit.

    I think in the days of incandescent bulbs they used 1156 or 1157? Bulbs. Would be really bright[/QUOTE]
    1156 and 1157 are the same brightness on the high filament. The 1157 has an additional low filament that the 1156 does not.

    correct. I want to look like a GD Christmas tree going down the road. I want my ego to be flattered more than it already is. I want to be the center of attention

    FYI the factory will put as many lights on the trailer as you ask.

    And the last thing most O/O's want is to look like is a minimum spec fleet truck/trailer.

    Cheap chicken lights fill with moisture and water then fail.
