    Thanks man... I really like them.

    I wired the LED strips under the lights a little different than other people probably do it.

    I cut plates the same size as the triangle opening. Welded the plates from the backside. The you just drill a hole for the wires to come through the plate where you want it.

    Added some more lights this weekend.

    42 in curved LED light bar on the roof.
    Added some white/amber - solid/strobe - backup/chase lights to the back ends on the side boxes.

    Finally got to install my El Taco Diablo light bar brackets. They've been hanging above my shop bench for nearly 2 years.


    Also got a light bar cover... to keep from giving poe-poe a reason for pulling me over. (yes, uncovered lightbars are technically illegal in CA)
