    I'd space them around a little bit, but that's just me.

    I'm also really lazy and would just get a bigger self tapper and send it into the tube.

    Speaking of spacing, check your state lighting codes, as they may require a minimum spacing distance (e.g. for PA vehicles, it's minimum 20" spacing for driving lights, measured to the center of each lamp.).

    Yeah, I don't think AZ has anything like that, but I'll take a look. Thanks for the advice!

    Now that is what I'm going for. Harnessing the power of the sun. He must be an absolute blast to drive in front of at night!

    Maybe I've said it elsewhere in some other reply in the past year, but this signature line is in my top-5-of-all-time for the interwebs:

    Not sure. My 2nd gen doesn't have auto high beams, but the high beams and fog lights are mutually exclusive. If the high beams are on, you can't run the fogs.

    You can never have too many. I drive a majority in the forest and there’s a ton of elk around where I live. I’m planning on filling the holes in my bumper with flush lights. I’ve got a mix of amber and white.

    Great looking truck! I have actually traded the lights for some Baja Designs XLs, they should be here next week. I'll update the thread with my new lighting solution once they get here:dancingbacon:

    How many lights do you need?

    M O A R ! ! !

    Enough that when you turn them all on, you notice your battery dropping below 12.5v while running. :rofl:
