Awesome! but quick question, is it safe to drive with all those ON at night? wouldnt that drain your battery quickly? how could you counteract that? dual batteries? aftermarket high output alternator?
the reason i ask, is that im looking to get some rock lights and some KC's on the windshield.

Not sure I would be driving around with them all on unless it was in an off road situation, where the danger of driving off a cliff or something is present. Even then not sure I would have them all on. I really set this up for search and rescue and night explorations.


Your OEM sysem and a GOOD battery you should have no problem with your KCs and some rock lights.

Yea your right, but I have never had an issue even with the ones on the windshield. When I am in the rocks I turn the windshield inward 90 degrees and they have never been touched.

Good news is I don't have a lot invested here: The Hella 1000 I got on sale, the PIAAs I got for 1/2 price on sale of scratch-dent and in this case no instructions. The headlights are about $36 each on sale the others came with my Jeep. I got maybe $350 total in all of them.

I have a few lights added a 135 amp alt to help out have 180 of light when needed, I toggle off and on as needed, depending on the trail, and where I am at, have had no issues with battery

Too bad with the EPA we can't run magnetos. I have one in my sand car and no battrey, no alternator, no problem. When the bat goes dead the lights go down but the car is still racin

I just relocated the stock fog lights and mounted them to where my stock nerf bars used to hang. Nothing special. But Today I did get pretty bored and installed a 120v power inverter. While I was at it. I already had the idea in mind for a while. I installed some quick disconnect for my whip using the male and female ends to an air compressor hose connector. Now I can put my whip up in seconds.
But then. It came to me. whats the point of having a whip if it cant be seen at night?
Well I already had some 120v- 2,500,000 candle strobes. so I hooked it up to the top of my steel whip and ran the plug to my power inverter and (BAM). Now I can be seen from air planes. :)



These pics are the best my cam phone can take with the crap shutter speed.

Dude, anytime next week is fine. So you have any light tabs if not I can pick some up if you tell me how many you need.

I do not use the 'flats' unless I am welding the tabs to flat sided stock. Instead I use a light tab that has the corners folded down at about a 45 degree angle. MUCH stronger and do not fold down if hit like 'flat' ones do if attached to round stock.

i like the fog lights on the trail it dosn't blind the person in front of my, i aim the lights by the windshild out & down so i can see betteron the sides, and the one in back is for the talegaters. HEHE.
