So I got to ask when do you use these lights? Aren't they illegal other than offroad?

Very marginal and bullet proof. Might snow some tomorrow with maybe rain. Going home to work on it actually. Hopefully get a few inches

whoops, I had answered it but somehow in my multi-quoting it went away.

They are not illegal when there are no other cars on the road.

Thanks Jay. Not the prettiest but will work for now. Doesn't look complicated but a lot if cut and fitting in that area.

Sled repair is such a pandora box. I got the A arm bushings changed and pulled th pipe off to get access to a couple bolts and checked the Y pipe and there is a hole in the back. Lucky I haven't melted a piston yet. Now to take that off now and hopefully weld it rr

That is kinda what I thought! Too bad you don't live out here with us country folk. Hardly anybody on the road at night out here.
