i have a light wing. it bolts into the license plate holes, then at the end of each wing, there are holes to mount your lights. you can mount up to 4 lights on mine.

hmmm buncha amateurs around here.......

Personally, it doesnt matter what you use as long as u like what you have. I got the kc 150's their nice,. i had a bulb burn out a cpl weeks ago, had them for a year. cost me $5 to send it back and they sent me a new bulb no questions asked.

as far as wiring, I use outdoor extension cord. 3 wire. all in one neat and easy to run 'harness'. if you have never ran wires before go get a 50ft extension cord with all 3 wires and use that. KC's mickey mouse harness is a joke.

Hey, i was at autozone, getting some things for the truck, light bulbs, oil and such. I seen a couple magnetic lights that go on top of the truck, has anyone used these? This would allow me to put lights in the back. The only thing im not sure about is where to run the wires to so it doesnt look like crap. If i wanted i could even switch them out later. The magnet is the mount. Just wanting some opinions to see if anyone has tried that yet.
