offroads behind the grille. a guy on heres sellin some nice ones that he has behind his. also i have blue leds in place of all the interior lights and the two lights above the bed. hids are nice too or you could get strobes all over the place too lol red line of fire under the tailgates are cool too i had one but it broke cuz it was cheap. if you have or get subs you can buy lights that sense vibration and light up diff colors for dif intensitys of the vibrations. just a few things you may be interested in

I have a light fetish too, lol. I have HID heads, fogs, and KC's. Have LED multicolor underglow. Have all interior dome lights LED. 3rd brake light is on the way. Line of fire/ice undertail gate. Recon 90w strobes in heads/reverse lights. LED lights in reverse lights and blinkers. And about 90000 flashlights, lol.

Drill a hole . That was a hard thing to do. Drill a hole in my brand new aftermarket headlights. You just drill a hole, mount the light, then run the wires. Its not that difficult. It took me and a friend ~4 hours to complete the entire task, with a few brakes. Im about to get LED tails and do the same thing to those. Im just trying to find a LED tail with a large enough reverse light portion to allow for my LED reverse lights and strobe lights to fit in there together.

I welded myself up a head ache rack for behind the window and mounted it with my tool box in the bed. But off that put on two back up lights and the welded a bracket that goes directly sideways from the truck with a flood light on either side. For the front i got a pair of Hella 500's and mounted them on the front bumper with a bracket coming outta the small gap on the bumper. Then decided to add LED strobe lights in the grill and just below the rear bumper and the same gap in the front bumper. all controlled by an Orion control module similar to those in cop cars. Just be careful running too much power all at the same time and blowing out your alternator and possibly your battery too, i would highly recommend getting a second alt and battery. I have dual batteries and a heavy duty alt.

Have fun!
