Seriously??? You should consider putting strobes on all your vehicles. Maybe then they start paying attention...

i now have lighting around me in all directions! love it!

added 2 small 55w driving lights to the running boards. wired to a switch that is ignition hot. this means i can leave the switch on when i shut the truck down. then when i remote start it both sides will be lit up.

lit up excursion - YouTube












couple shots of the switch, out of the way down by the OBD2 plug in

Seems a bit pricey considering you still don't have a turbo.
