Default semi lights on a dodge

hey guys. i want to stick some lights on the cab of my truck so in the dark, it looks like a semi rollen down the road. i was wondering if any of you know if there is a place where they sell these kit or do i need to make my own. i found a trailer light kit and i think it might work but i dont know, and it would be great if you could post some pictures of what it might look like with the lights on. thanks

trailer lights: eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Have to be careful with the red, some states it is illegal to have forward facing red lights. But I would go with the oem kit.

Where ever you buy them from, make sure you get 12V. Most big rigs are 24V.
