    Got a few projects knocked out this afternoon... stuff that’s been sitting around for a while.

    Ditch lights mounted and wired in!

    Bed and Under Hood lights from @mattgecko Here are the bed lights and I will post under hood lights when I fix them. I broke one of the LED strips so Matt is getting me taken care of with a replacement. Awesome customer service.

    I wired the bed lights so they can be turned on from the switch in the bed and or a switch in the cab.

    Here are my switch locations.

    @Bigdaddy4760 Ty sir. It wasn’t too complicated and I can definitely help ya when we get together again. Maybe for a shock install day!:fingerscrossed::D Biggest challenge was how to run wiring cleanly and keep everything sealed up entering&exiting the cab. I found a rubber grommet in the back of the cab and an area entering the engine compartment that I think are ideal. Be glad to help you!

    You mentioned that you had the @mattgecko lights a while back so I recently bought the set from him. Quality stuff and a very nice guy. Easy to work with and quick to respond to my questions.

    Deer are thick as thieves here. Now don't laugh, but since I got these amber KC fogs, it's like deer see yellow better. They don't freeze like in white light. The other mornin' I kinda heared a young one back into the park by turnin' 'em off & on. Seems to work on rabbits & squirrels too. Crazy.

    That's cool. It would be interesting to study out reactions to different light colors by animals.

    I have a weird deal where I think my big light bar on the front whistles and acts like those deer whistle things and I think it keeps them away... IDK

    Kinda reminds me of this picture I saw of what this certain Moth sees. That rascal can almost see radio waves. The artists/researchers picture of it was amazing.
