The lights and switch were just your basic lights from an auto part store. IIRC, the lights are the "Max LED" version with the diodes spaced further apart. They really are brighter.

I'll try to get a pic tomorrow for you of the mirror lights.

Here's a picture of my mirror lights [MENTION=114387]GunnarzF150[/MENTION]. Pay no mind to how dirty they are

Looks mostly on the front, but maybe a little on the side. I'd like to possibly do two...one where yours is and another completely on the side, visible from the rear….but maybe making it more complicated.

It's gotta be a one-hitter, not a drawn out process, I'm not in a good position for any involved "learn as you go" projects right now. Sucks moving into an apartment and working 50 hours a week. lol

Here's a video to show how the light shows light from all around. Putting it on the side will show light more to the sides and back but I wanted it more to the front and sides.

Getting closer to getting this all done. Ran out of time to tidy it all up and rewire into the cab so for now it's about half done.

Love them. Had a decent speed run down a road of ours with some big whoops and it seems to have really settled the shocks in, not to mention that it handled them like a champ. That road may get more frequent checking than it needs
