I have 10 led smoked cab lights, 4 orange led lights under my cab on my running boards, 9 2" square lights on a stainless light bar under my tailgate, and 4 4" rectangular led lights in the center of my rear bumper. The bumper is not factory. My truck looks like a christmas tree at night when they are all on. also have red lights under my dash and some in the back seat. im looking for more spots to put lights that they still look good. i wish i could post a pic of it but im in the process of moving to wyoming for school.

I'm looking to put some running lights kinda like deluxe 06 has on his. where are you guys buying these lights from. I checked the trucklite.com website, but it looks like they only sell to other businesses.

Can't help much because I'm not in to excessive lighting. But I was browsing Riffraff Diesel today and came across these:
Riffraff Diesel: Recon BIG RIG ICE Amber & White Running Lights

I think they look great, and if I was going to add lights this would be it. LED amber running board lights, but turn to a white courtesy light when the door is opened. Very cool. He has a bunch of lighting on his site, I bet you'll find what you're looking for there.

I got 14 bulb running lights 7 on each side below the doors sills along that lip spaced out and a dually 3 bulb red light mini bar under the rear tailgate on that lip between the bumper, Wal-mart has those cheap. Local parts store Pep-Boys for the running lights, a pack of 12 ran around 28.00 bucks. This was all done before Clay and before I started really ordering stuff online.

the trouble with the rope lights is when one led goes out you need to buy a new rope...i got these for $80 for a set of ten and have a life time warranty...if one blow's..bring it back get a new one.....i have 5 on each side..3 red's out back''i also have 5 more 2 of them are marker/turn lights.for up front some day..




no need for them to turn white to see the ground when i step out..

I've got the recon big rig lights(no Ice) and love them. I had them on my '05 and loved 'em so much i took them off and put them on my '02. I've had them for 3 years with no trouble at all. I like them 'cause you can make them blink with your turn signal as well as work as a running light.

strip LEDs across the top of the windshield rubber and along the edge of the running boards. Strip lights are powered by relays - one triggered by the dome light, the other triggered by the parker lights. So you get light on the ground where you will step out when alighting from the vehicle.

Picasa Web Albums - SingleSpeedSimon - F250

Also put strips of red LEDs along the towbar, simply wired to the tail lights.
