Added some Lights

Since my truck doesn't have cab lights and I am not sure yet if I want to drill holes in the roof, I added some lights to the front lower valence and raptor lights behind the grill. I also added the factory dually light under the tailgate. I wasn't sure if I put too many on the lower valence or not but so far I like it.

You definitely added some lights. Now you won’t have to carve a pumpkin for Halloween, just leave your truck lights on in the driveway!

Valance isn't my cup of tea but I have the 3 lights behind the grille and the dually 3 light thing in the back, both of which I'm a fan of. My truck also didn't come with cab lights which is why I wanted the grille lights. Nice work anyways though!

The raptor style and rear dually look real good. Sorry but I think the valence are a little too many.

Yeah I was on the fence when I did it as well. I was originally only going to put 5 on the valence. I saw another member on here that had the same amount of lights and I thought it looked good, so I went for 9. I figure at some point I will probably change out the valence for a 2WD one and then I can change the number of lights then or go another route. It sure makes the truck easy to spot at night though!

If they make you happy, then that’s all that matters.
IMO, take them off of the valance. All of them.

Raptor grille lights, yes.
Dually rear bumper lights, yes.
Valence lights, no. Like PentaPop said, my first thought was it looks like a Jack-o-lantern.

My grand father had an 87 dually with tons of lights on it. My dad always called it a W$%&e House Wagon. Lol. Dad was a trucker/mechanic. Rock those lights man.

Yeah, definitely just accent lights. Just makes it look more custom and semi-like to me. I decided to make my truck look different than the other 400,000 sold every year by adding lights instead of pinstripes or wheels or other customization. And the upfitter switches make it sooooo easy....
