There's a "Big Rig" kit offered by Recon... but half the fun is wiring everything up. eBay is my best friend. You can find a couple of sellers that offer packages of individual clearance lights for trailers and whatnot. You just have to wire everything up! I have been wanting to do amber lights on my pinch welds for over 2 years now... but maintenance is always more important in my book.

So you're talking about cab clearance/marker lights?

I've never seen a wiring kit for 'em. What I did was run a common ground wire for all 5 marker lights and a common hot wire. I ran the hot wire to my fuse panel as a temporary thing until I can splice it into a parking light wire for a more permanent solution.

If that's what you want, bud, go for it! Most "kits" come with the wires, quick connects and a rocker switch, but I don't like all those extra switches for something that I want to look OEM, ya know? Plus, knowing myself as well as I do, I'd get out and forget to turn the darn things off. *Poof* ...batteries = dead.

It's no problem. I've done the install myself, so if you have any other questions just PM me.
