Very nice dude,
Do you notice a big power draw when you turn them on?

Will your alternator carry the additional load?

Have you found any way to reduce wind noise at the door seals with the rack on? Mine howls at anything over 50.

Still don't have them wired up, doing that today, I have them wired to the batt and tied into my Highbeams so thats when they turn on, switch in the cab to on/off. might change it later to its own independent switch.

I've had one set working without any problems in the past,
but I'll have to see if there is any major jump in draw with the second set.
But I think I'll be fine, they are 100w bulbs!

If there are any problems with draw I might get a bigger batt to help out.
Do they make a high output alternator that will fit the Dakota?

you mean the roof rack, right?

I do notice it likes to make noise but only between 60 & 80 kmh, I do 100kmh on the hwy and no noise, another thing mine only seams to do this when its cold out, I usally don't hear it otherwise which I though was a little weird. (Cold= Noise !??) I guess the fairing would be stiffer when cold.

How are yours setup, Pic?

Nice job, I like that it covers up our ugly front bumper. Your whole front end scene is good lookin'.
