LIGHTS! The more the merrier!

[Professor]

Lights! gotta love them. I've always been one to put lights on my trucks. Pias, Hellas, KCs, etc. CT has been challenging, and fun at the same time. The lightshow makes it even more fun. I love the lightshows.

I currently have 28, some seasonal. Someday we may even be able to add foglights and lightbars into the shows. I'm curious to see what others have done. trying to keep it street legal, but with vague wording and conflicting reports, it's not easy. Best I can hope for is an easy-going cop, who's not mad at Elon. What I have so far.

• Lightbar (aftermarket)
• double foglights (yellow-green)
• tailgate light-bar (red turn signals)
• ditch lights (come on with lightbar)
• running board lights (white marker and sequential amber turn)
• roof marker lights (5 white)
• roof taillights (2 red)
• front center light (between headlights)

So please post pictures of your lighting setup. Put mine to shame! I want to see what everyone else has done.

Rock lights? Underglow? Hazards? Maybe a searchlight? Puddle lights? The Bat symbol?

So, to get your ditch lights (come on with lightbar), to work are they operating on the same power cable as the OEM Beast? Could you explain? I was waiting for someone to come up with ditch lights that function just as the OEM Beasts do.

 

[Professor]

well they don't work the same way at the OEM lightbar does. that apparently has a chip that integrates it into the software allowing 3 different settings from one light. these are powered by the same roof aux, but they are dumb. i planned on adding a manual switch to cut them out, then changed my mind and left them in. I may still ad the switch some day. They are technically Sasquatch lights, not ditch lights, as they are pointed about 75% and ditch lights would be about 30%, but most people wouldn't know what Sasquatch lights were.
The OEM bar splits the lightbar into 3 sections, L C R. L and R don't look like they shine far enough sideways to really be considered ditch lights. they would also need to be focused lower.

Whats your thought on that aftermarket light bar? Looks like the alibaba one thats been sold by all the dropshippers and ebay. I havent heard any reports of those ones flying off… worth the $400-$700?

I’ve had the Tsportline one on my truck for about 20k miles with zero issues whatsoever
