    A few minor things...
    I just contacted you on your website about a 3rd gen solution!

    I'm very interested in adding some lights to the top of my cab to see my boat trailer at night. Backing up a 24' pontoon at 11pm isn't exactly easy without lights.

    I noticed you have access cab brackets on your website, I have the full 4-door cab.

    I'll post on your other "development" thread!

    Any chance of making these for a 3rd gen, but include a switch on the extra lights so they can be operated independent of the stock 3rd break light?

    Thanks for the interest! We will certainly let you and the rest of the community know if we start developing these lights for caps

    We've been trying to drum up enough support for the 3rd gen's over here

    As for your switch question; We only provide the lights/bracket/gasket and that assembly comes with short wiring pigtails and sweet plugs so the end user can customize their install. So you can set it up anyway you feel, but as always...the more switches the better!:woot:

    Just another highly interested member that would like this product to mount on my Leer shell. I've read all 19 pages and you truly appear to be stand-up vendor with a great product. Even if this never gets made for my Leer I wish you all the luck in the world with your product. Thanks.

    You probably have already considered this but what about getting a group buy together with a minimum of say 25-50 participants to build capital. From reading all 19 pages it seems that there are plenty of members on here (1st,2nd3rd Gens) that would like to have your product. Maybe that would garner enough capital for further developments for use of your products on camper shells and possibly other vehicle makes/models. I apologize if this is rudimentary business stuff that you've already taken into consideration. Just trying to help out as you've tried to help us. @ramonortiz55 would probably be able to offer better advice concerning group buys, as he is "The Sultan of Group Buy Happiness"

    @Theloraxcross, thank you for the kind words! It is an excellent idea to try an pull a group buy together. We have been trying to do this with the 3rd Gen lights so we can further development. We will look into doing the same for the camper shell because I know there have been a fair number of people interested in those. If @ramonortiz55 is the "Sultan of Group Buy Happiness" i will definitely have to consult him.

    @Rhino8541, just so for additional information, the switch I used is a Contura V from OTRATTW. They have an awesome selection. The specific switch I got was this one here. There are some more details about it in the installation thread.

    Well If the opportunity arises add me to the list. In addition I am interested in a low profile set that I could mount on either side of a rack for my camper shell. In essence a set for the back as previously discussed and a set for each side of the shell for scene lighting. Hoping that the lights would still be able to be maneuvered as needed. I know that these aren't in production just dreaming out-loud. I currently have Baja-Designs (flush mount)S2 pro's mounted on either side of my Allpro front bumper for scene lighting. I know I could just get more of those just keeping an open mind. Thankyou in advance

    When you get a chance can you send me a picture of the rack where you would want them to be mounted?

    Actually it would be on a Prinsu rack for a shell its 6ft. There's pics on here in that thread that are better than I could take. I still haven't even figured out how to upload pics of my truck to here.

    As an extremely stoked customer, I have a question for you.

    Can you ask the lens guys if they can do a green tint lens? There is a new race regulation stating to have a green light for limited class vehicles. To let faster paced drivers know there is a slower vehicle ahead.

    Please and thank you!

    You bet! Is there a specific type of green you are looking for? Do you have any example pictures?

    This is a solution that Kartek is selling for the regulations. Maybe something that color, or even a shade lighter would be cool. I appreciate your willingness to help me out. You rock! :)

    ^ What about Green tint overlay? Even better, a snap on colored lens so you can go back to regular light when not at the races.
    OP: anything for 3rd gen?

    At this point, I might be changing my whole bed light setup to dust lights. They work so well for that purpose. Im also following your access cab thread :anonymous:

    And the OP has a link to his 3rd gen development in his signature
