I think they are all illegal to use on public roads.

A lot of truck drivers don't mind dangerously blinding other drivers though, really get tired of going out early in the morning and all the pickups with their stupid poke and lifts without re-aiming headlights drive around with their push bumper mounted light bar shining into everybody's face

Ya , I know not a lot of content in that one! But holly cow the mounting options on these trucks suck! I see they do make a insert in the existing fog light area that will take two cubes, I’m thinking of two elongated spots under the bumper.

So the new body style lacks space or placement for aftermarket lights in my opinion, maybe as the aftermarket world comes with other ideas then maybe. Unless you are putting on a new front bumper the choices are limited. I had a switchpro light controller in my last truck and even placement within the cab is going to be tricky if I go this route again, I have been studying options but have not decided yet. In regards to the stock rear bumper since I have a chrome bumper and live in an area where we may only see liquid salt applied to the roads once a year I have been debating on cutting the chrome to install rear lights, but that pushes me back to the lighting controller.

Thanks a lot Losthusker. Yes I was also thinking on Front bumper change, but I do not know if this will affect my parking sensors and other sensor in the front

I would guess the parking sensors will work if the bumper has holes for them. You most likely will need to get recalibrated afterwards to get them to work.

I’ve kicked around the idea of adding some of the flush lights in the little plastic pieces outside of the front plate on the bumper.
