Default New Lights

I've had these on my truck for a few weeks now, but I just finally got them all wired up this week. I put four lights on the roof rack and each light has a high/low beam so it was a lot of wiring! One fuse block, 4 relays, 2 diodes and a double throw switch. I wired it so I could put on just the low beams (80w each), or the lows + highs (180w each). I used ggravants wiring diagram to wire in the diodes, so as to not back feed the low beam circuit when I triggered the combo.

I still need to adjust the lights up (as evidenced in the pics). 06QuadRam was curious as to whether or not the lights would have a cut off line from the roof. I was fairly certain that they would not, and these pics show that they are not effected by the roof line at all.

Apparently my camera doesn't like taking pictures of bright lights at night. But you can still get the idea by noting the change in light output.

They come in handy when I am on the beach at night... Most city guys don't understand that.. just kidding

My fogs work. I had them turned off when I took the pics. I also have a set of hellas behind the grill. Those weren't turned on either.

dadgum Frog! You don't go no where in the dark do ya bro! If the power goes out at your house you could just pull the rig up in front and open the blinds!

Since that rack is so far back, Im guessing that your roof keeps the glare off of the cab

In my yota, I had to tint the bottom half of the roof lights because they put a huge glare on the windshield...Besides your roof rack being 43' in the air I bet it is pretty useful
