I actually have the redo the red because I made a mistake in the math but I will fix it later. The dome light is actually very nice, very bright and very white.

Great Idea. I was thinking of building my own LED lights for the Grille. What LED's did you use?
Would like to see some pictures of them lit up.
I bought the 3rd Brake light from Recon, But should have done this myself.

Nice job! Post some pics of it lit up once you're finished.
I converted my tail lights to LED using truck-lite model 60 fixtures. Was going to convert the upper mount but now I'm getting a Leer cap so won't need to. I was going to do a similar thing as I did with the tail... just can't justify the cost of the Recon light.

I bought it through RECON for I think around $70.00. They do have them on Ebay also, but not sure of quality.

the grill gaurd is made by ranch hand.
I will post some pics of the light whenever I can finish the red leds. I have to redo them because I didn't account for the voltage when the truck is charging so I burnt up 36 red leds.

I believe that they have the line of fire strip set up as one piece and you can hard wire it in or plug it into you 4-wire trailer plug. The strip blinks with the blinkers and it lights up half of the strip on which side that is blinking.
