Okay, now they should all be here. In the first group of 4 pics, the signals are just mounted to the back of the cab, 3 small holes for each, and the wires run down the inside behind everything, the top half of the cab is hollow, so you kinda hafta fish around in there but it can be done. So I wired the 2 sides differently since it was kinda trial and error, but the passenger side was much easier. (I ran outta red wire so that's why those are white). Then ran wires up thru to the front signals and tied them in there. (pic of the mess of wires by the battery in separate post) and then the other in the first bunch is the final result. So now there are 6 signals each direction including stock lights.

The last pic I posted is how I wired the toolbox lights, the toolbox sitting on the bed makes it grounded, so the lights are tied together, and then a single wire from each side is run down from the toolbox, thru the front wall of the bed, then down to the front light on each side of the bed and tied in there.

I forgot to take pics of the side running lights, but I will do that later.
So all in all, I've added 33 extra lights, (so far), and still have 7 in a bag at home waiting. I do have plans for 2 more stop/tail/turn lights on the rear and more rear facing lights. Will eventually fill the front bumper from side to side with amber lights instead of just the 3 in the middle.(not pictured in this thread, but it is somewhere)
Any questions?

Yup, I just like lights. I did it with my 78 silverado I used to have, but not to this extent. And I just emptied the older pics off my phone this weekend, but I have posted pics of it at night on here in the "what did you do to your truck today" post. You could try to do a search of all my posts, I think there's a way to do that on a computer pretty easily.. and all my lights are incandescent bulbs, if I had the money for that many LEDs, I wouldn't be driving this ol beat up 91 lol. Still love it tho, built back when they still gave a crap about how long a truck would last!

Looks good MonsterinWI. I like trucks with lots of lights. You should get one of those lighted visors. I think that would really set your truck off. Here are some of your night pictures I found and one day picture.

Someone say lights?!?!?!?!?!

Does your alternator scream for mercy ever? Haha
Could you post a picture of the brake lights you have in your truck box? I want to do that sort of thing with mine...
