Not the greatest picture but you get the general idea. Cab Lights and lights under the bumper are both easy install.

yeah make sure you post pics everyone likes pictures. The one thing though is do you plan on going off road? I did and ended up ripping that front air dam and all my lights and wiring out. oops I eventually did something like your doing but I ended up making 2 brakets and think I mounted them on bottom of the bumper (dont really remeber it was a couple years ago) Then I mounted a piece of steel with nuts and bolts and had a plug for the lights so if I wanted to go off road all I had to do was unplug and 2 bolts and it was off so I didnt ruin it again. I also ended up ripping my front bumper off when I was buried one time thats why the black bumper is on there.

I think I'll jump in this thread and ask a question. What's the best way to wire the lights? I'm thinking of doing red clearance lights under my tailgate. I have no idea how to wire lights and anything I find on this forum doesn't really help me.

best thing would be to find the lights the Ground through the screw holes... and then just solder or splice all the power(+) wires together and run them to either the headlight switch or a toggle switch..
