yep i love thos semis that have more lightbulbs than some people have hair
where do u get those lights? i just dont know how to proceed looking for them...i went to a heavy duty truck parts store and they gave me a blank look and shrugged their shoulders.

i have seen people put lights all along the base on different dodges and fords so where do u get those?

They're standard clearance lights, I don't know why the guys at your local truck parts stores are such idiots. A good online source is Berube's. Personally I think pickups look when people do them up like that, but to each his own.

chicken trucks w/ tons of lights? cool...

1 tons w/ tons of lights? not so cool... to me... clearance lights are fine and dandy, so are extra lights on the headache rack... maybe some bright reverse lights on the bumper... but when you go stringing ambers along the running boards and have extra clearance lights up top, I'm out on all that... down here, when you see trucks done up like that or with big graphics and wings and stuff, the driver is either over 55 or hispanic

to each their own, but definately not my style... gimme a truck that looks stock but will outrun a corvette... leave the LED's and big wings to the rice boy crowd. (or bean boy crowd )

Yes. Any large truck stop will have all kinds of lights to offer.
The lights range in price depending upon wattage, configuration (wiring included or not) and whether they are LED or not.
Also, look up your local Peterbilt or Kenworth dealer.
We have a large Peterbilt dealer in town that stocks a variety of lights and light configurations.
However, because they all have the in the middle of the light, they cost more than those at a truck stop.
