okay, I got my lights in the mail today at my condo, and here they are, they look awesome, and use a h3 55 watt bulb! I included a picture of them with a quarter, and the best part is that I got them for 16 bucks shipped!

I can post a link if anyone is interested.



Okay, now on to the planning

I'm thinking that I will try to mount them to the stock safety chain area somehow, but I'm not exactly sure how yet. the mounts are very user friendly, and I'm sure I can fab up anything else I might need to to get them to work.

now on to the wiring.

I have read that the stock backup circuit will not support more than 55 watts, so I am out for just running it off of that. I was thinking of taping into my trailer wiring, as it runs right there, and using that to trigger a relay (yes/no?)

then I wanted to be able to turn them on and off with a cab mounted switch also, and I'm not exactly sure how to do that. Will I need to run a separate relay, or can I just run more wires to the other ones.

I could also use some info on what relay's to get, and some help with switches. I was thinking of getting a switch block, so it would clean things up a bit, as I have the switches for my light bar also. I would need about 5 switches if thats possible, for my backup lights, my light bar (2 separate switches) my amp, and one for my CB would be nice.

thanks everyone, I'm just looking for any info or comments you could give me, so that would be great!

 

05 super helped me find this, hows it look?



so according to this, if I taped another wire onto the "85" post, into the backup circut, that should trip the circut also?

 

okay, if anyone is interested, I am going to put my switches in the area above my cd player, the one that is opened up when you get a single din headunit in a 1.5 din opening. Im thinking of 5 rocker switches with green led's on them. has anyone tried this before?

im thinking right in this area (not my truck, just a picture off of the net.)

 

Hey Ty,
Nice lookin lights!
If I got these>or any Pair of 55 watters< I couldn't just tap into my harness at the rear because there are2x55?

 

yeah, but I think that the backup harnes cant handle that much draw on the circut.

 

Don't that suck!!!
It's amazing how the sites that sell em make it sound like you can just 'Plug-n-play' ey?
Hey is that Bosch relay something already on my truck or will I need to git one?

 

you will need to get one, but you can get them at radio shack, or another simmilar store for under 10 bucks.

 

That's cool!
Thanks Ty...
I just voted for your sweet truck...
Good luck!

 

thanks for the support!

are you planning on getting some backup lights? do you want the link to where I got them?

 

Yea man that would be great!
As for the vote... they are all sweet trucks... but yours' just has the style I prefer!!!
