    Got mine installed today! They're purple and are rather subdued behind the tinted topper glass, but still festive.

    Well done sir, you put a lot of work into that one :thumbsup:. I broke a decent amount of my lights on a run last weekend, and the hilift ripped up the cord - then the antlers flew off on the highway :(

    Christmascoma 2.0 on the way. I'll post more pics when I'm done. Planning on lighting up the wreath on the front and trying to light up the reindeer nose haha

    Just FYI, I checked with my CHP buddy and in CA only white facing forward and red or amber rearward. Multi color isn't legal but he hasn't heard of any officers writing any tickets for it.

    Very true. I just wouldn't go around with flashing lights or any sort of blue lights. I found it interesting that red or amber in the back would be ok.

    Forgot to post these.

    Used two 4x6 cool white net lights to cover the cap, two 70-string cool white strings across the cab down front, and a cool white led flickering snowflake.

    I thought about doing a temporary change in color for Christmas, but I'd probably get pulled over if all of this was red and green instead of amber. :(
