Am I crazy?

Just got a bunch of old clearance lights from a friend. Didn't know what to do with them until I saw a truck with them like this on the way home yesterday. Any ideas?

It's my truck, i'm just kicking around ideas on what to use these lights for. Foglights would be nice but I'm not looking to spend any money.

That is completely out of the question. Please do not put the clearance lights there. And btw, those pictures are absolutely hilarious.... that is rich.

Well, I guess you could hide some behind the grill if you want to cut down on the bling factor.

What brand/model/type are the clearance lights. I think the ones on that truck in the pic in place of the fog lights are too large. Hopefully the ones you got from a friend are smaller.
