Do you know the wattage on your light's? I would like to get some KC's the Hellas don't quite cut it.

100 watt... 200,000 candle... (I think combined) I think they look pretty cool behind the grille.. I know the yellow sticks out a little.. and was going to buy a set of black covers.. but those yellow covers really grew on me...lol..

Someone asked if the ebay lights he put the link up for were decent.. that looks like a pretty good price to me. And those are 150 watt bulbs... so those must be even brighter. I would look into some covers though.. I didn't catch if they came with covers. In some states, you can get a ticket just for not covering the lights.

And someone asked why I put it in the top center console. I thought about putting it in several locations. But after thinking about it, I thought that up top was the best place for me. I also think I'm going to put a set of lights under the back bumper to help light up hooking up my trailer at night. So I would put the same switch in right beind the existing one. I thought a row of switches up there might look pretty slick.

A row of switches would look cool. Where I have my switch I would like to have a row, but I don't know what else to run. However some back up light's would be nice. In California auxelery light's don't have to be covered unless they are above the headlight's, I think thats what the law is.

Yea I said about the switch up top. Idk its awkward. Like an airplane ahahaha. And you know you wont use those lights just for backing up to your trailer. Darn people behind ya with there brights on get one hell of a show. My friend has commercial jet landing lights...they'll drain a 12volt car battery in 7 seconds. I wanna figgure a way to mount those suckers up without killing my battery.

thanks for all the help, i remembered that g-ma works at o'riley and get 50% discount so i went up and pick me up a set. installed in about 20 min. but i couldn't run wires because no directions for wire kot. so i am going to take kit back tom and do the rest tom night. i love the look already even though no light coming out yet.

Anyone near Little Rock/Jacksonville, AR that can give me a hand with this? I'm in a wheelchair and can't do much of the work required...not to mention I'm technologically impaired.

I like the extra lights behind the grill a lot, I may do that sometime soon. Although I think they look best on the 02-05's, all the lights are lined up nicely.

I run KC's and they are great lights, plus they have something like a 25 year warrenty on them. I like the behind the grill look you guys although mine are mounted on a bush guard.
