Sweet. Nice job! I'd hate to see a good project go sour by melting or starting a fire.

I hope you don't use all of these on the street. I would shoot somebody coming at me with all of those lights on !!!

Perhaps a set of glasses would help you see better at night!!

After they're all wired up, you need to try something. With your vehicle off, turn on all of your lights. See how long it takes for your battery to be completely drained. lol
That's a lot of lights. Looks really sweet dude. I'm not sure how I like the amber driving lights, but I'm sure they'll grow on me. I'm still not sure what I'd ever do for lighting. I'd probably make mine kinda like how 6 hemi ram has his truck. Get a light bar for the top, some reverse lights, the line of fire light bar, mount my Hellas, mount some on top behind the grille like yours, and some cab lights. Another thing that would be sweet to do would be to get some of the cab lights off of a GMC/Chevy, and take that wide middle cab light. It's one solid bar with like 3 lights in it. State laws would probably make this illegal, but mount it over the door, so it lights out a little way so you can see things on the side. Collecting mail, or if you have to get out at night. A nice little beam of light would be real nice. Again, looks sweet, and make sure to post up some pictures with the lights all on. That should look really sweet.
