just take your time because they're pretty damn fragile. I broke 2 tabs on the chrome surround.

the rock lights look sick at night, those things are bright! they will definitely prove useful on the trails.

nah just sides. with HID headlights and fogs i really won't need more light up front. I really need to get the other side done and maybe wire them up so they come on when i open the doors

Great idea, looks good.

You should do the front and the rear; then you will see directly in front of the tires, that’s where it is needed.

I like your idea of of these lights working with the door, good one.

Are these LEDs ?

Lol it's not dented anymore. There are 2 tiny dents from hammer before I decided to use a 2x4 block and heat. I'm gonna make one in the spring or have one made. I bent the oem skid on my old truck 90* at the dunes and bent it back, Couldn't tell it was folded over. This one is just temporary or I might keep it on idk yet. There's no place that I'd actually need something thick

Seed, they're just HF lights. Gotta seal them up and then they're fine
