New idea

Okay.... Everyone around where I am have lifts and stacks on their trucks.... I have the lift not stacks but I want to do something that will make my truck stand out. I want the truck that when people drive by they are speechless. I am thinking about lighting it up like a Christmas tree but I don't know where it would look good to put lights. Any ideas? Other ideas are welcome too!

Thats what im doing too. I have the lift and about to do stacks. As far as lights, i want it seen miles away. Im doing cab lights, markets on the front and rear bumpers, leds above the rear plate, and when i finish my headache rack im going to wire in brake and reverse lights, possibly markers on my tool box or edge of headache rack.
