i need more lighting!!!

im just wondering if anyone put any extra lights on their truck. Even with the highbeams on, when im on the roads upstate, they just arent bright enough for me. I was thinking of getting some hella lights and mounting them to the outside of my grille. So id like to know if anyone has put any extra lights on, and if they have a pic of it
thanks

J/K i want to mount a couple on my bull bar when i get it. But they will be there pretty much for looks. I get enough people flashing thier brights at me, thinking I have mine on when their not.

My lows are brighter than my intrepids brights... what you guys need all those lights for?

I live up here in Alaska. We dont get alot of daylight in the winter time, so if you are on the highways, its kind of mandatory to have some extra lights for visibility, mostly to watch for moose on the roads. We have alot of moose kills in the winter and usually a few people die too. For me its peace of mind that im going to be able to see something in time to react and maybe it will save my life someday. Who knows. Also they look good.

See, it's the opposite here, i guess they want us to smack the deer in the roads. I want to put a couple on there cuz they look good. But if anyone saw me with them on, i'd be pulled over in the first five minutes, can use them offroad though.

By the way, front of your truck looks good... got any pics of the rest of it?

i like this setup....this is what i originally had in mind, but i wasnt sure what lights to get to fit in there, how i would mount it, or how it would look.
do you have any close up pics of the lights with them off?
thanks

I like it too...it seems nice and clean that way and plenty of light for any occasion. I'm not a big fan of mounting excessive equipment on my truck and that is why I went with the lights behind the grill for that clean look, but it only works well with a honeycomb grill.



BTW, I have since removed the bug deflector and painted the Ford emblem black for even more of that clean look.
