Thought I would update my truck picture haha still crummy paint but I put sport style wheels on it, new hood and grille and the bottom bumper piece. OH! and a light bar. Which I have only seen 1 other dakota with it in this position which I like a LOT.
Got everything I need for an engine swap too! Got a couple donor durangos for the 318's I can play with, picked up a v6 manual bellhousing for my AX15 so I can keep it manual. I am one happy mopar guy atm

I see you tapped power from the headlights to drive your new light. The proper way to do that is to use a relay to power your new light directly off the battery, with a fuse between the relay and the battery, or better yet a switched power point in the fuse box. If you just connect the driving light directly to the headlight's power, your headlights dim when the driving light is on. If you drive like this on public streets, you can get a fixit-ticket for non-functional headlights.

Actually it is hooked right to the battery with a fuse in the circuit with relay as well as a switch on the inside of the cab I put in. the lights look dark because they are smoked, the light bar is VERY bright as well haha
Got my new starter and oil pan gasket in today too!

EDIT: I think I see what you mean! The lights are much more dim because of my iPhone haha if you take pictures at night with a bright light, you can press on the bright light in the photo and it auto balances the brightness when the picture is taken

Oh. Well that's OK then. Your before pic looked like the lights were bright, then after were dim.

And now, here's a cat playing with a ball.
