Going to install rock lights, need ideas

[RAYJAY]

So buy a traffic advisory light bar that goes up in your rear window and plugs into the socket in the back.

will not help with doing a tire swap ..

I am also running the Lux kit. Worth noting - I had to replace every light 2 years later. All the magnets failed and 5 of the 8 lights stopped working. It was covered under their 3 year warranty. See in the pics, the placement of these lights is of no use when replacing a tire.

I also started with planning for lighting/accessory wants and made a harness for that. That’s what is laying on the ground in the one pic. Separate leads (power and ground) for each circuit, pigtails for individual components. I pulled this through the frame rail on the passenger side. This protects it from the heat of the exhaust. That was easy to do until you get to the rear, a little tricky but doable. On the drivers side, I zip-tied it to the factory harness run along the top of the frame rail.

Looks like we used 2 completely different kits or you chopped yours up...No failures yet...

Used the same kit. Yes, I only used 1 foot of the wire connected to each light.

There is a phenomenon called "target fixation " or "driver fixation " which claims that something like a light or flashing light can cause you to drive right into it ? ...

It’s definitely a thing. In the Greater Toronto Area, the MTO has crash trucks that block accident or construction scenes and divert traffic around them to help keep people safe…

No matter how bold and bright the warnings are, people still drive into the back of them…
