truck in progress

alright im sure that catchy title got your attention.
I have 2 lights behind the grill of my truck and they have the output of a zippo lighter. is there anyway besides hid conversion to make thfm brighter? i do know which replacdment bulb it needs. or of any cheap decently bright lights?

now for the train horns my goal is 3 horns mounted somewhere on the truck. not sure if where i mount them will make a difference. but anyone ever wired these in before? and have pictures of your horns?

Do the lights run on a relay? Makes em much brighter cause of the ability to run more current through them and take the load off the switch.

And horns can go just about anywhere, just need to decide how you want to wire em. Preferably with their own relay.

which lights do you got behind your grille?

these. they couldnt be any less bright without being off. and they arent on a relay because they arent wired into any other lights just to their own switch.

Those look like a the WalMart brand lol. Look up a relay wiring schematic and hook up the lights like that, I have to do the same with mine cause i was too lazy

ok those are the cheap wally world lights i got too, im interested to see what can be done with them, mine suck lol.

This is the diagram I have and the one I'm going to follow up on doing.

haha im pretty sure everyone gets these because they have a warrenty and come in pairs.



i got these blazer brand lights from an oriellys at 30 bucks each but they were bright enough to compete with headlights



on the old lightbar. only problem was they were cheaply made(of course) and water got in there shorting out the lights and my taillights.

i suppose a relay would work



mr7confused will see this and say to use relays im sure too haha but im not convinced they increase output by that much

Try 100 watt H3 bulbs, that should help.

The 100w don't do s*** I had them on my last truck with the 100w halogen h3 bulbs in them. My buddy was in front of me one night and said they looked stupid cause of how dim they were. Idk about with a relay though. I just had them wired straight to the battery
