Side/Running Board Amber Lights

[OCL]

I don't have it. But I want it. I saw it in action on another truck and it looked awesome. No important reason to have but, it will help make me more visible at night and avoid collisions. There's a few different ways to install it but I just want to rig it to my Tremor Auxiliary switch array. Wherein I can just turn them on or off manually. So much simpler that way.

Anyone have these on their Ranger or other truck? Pics in the wild with them on? Like it? Recommend? Wisdom to share?

There are a few trucks in my area that have these, I am on the fence about them.
They do look cool but then again gaudy - i think it's just the underflow effect that really serves no purpose other than - Hey - Look at me and my cool lights.
Don't get me wrong here as I have considered them as well and just never decided which side of the fence to be on.

I'm from California. Trust me. Having these lights on my Tremor is mild compared to the rigs I've seen here. It actually might even be considered, low key.

I see so many rigs of all sizes with 6-8 auxiliary lights alone. Rooftop tents, pop up campers, loaded with traction boards, shovels, outside mounted fuel and water containers, 35's+ tires, etc., are a dime a dozen! Meanwhile, I've got a plain old Tremor with nothing on the bed. I need to get on the program!

"Widely Application"?

Remember, the more lights you add, the goofier you look when some of them burn out, but not all at the same time.

Just sayin'

Well said Chris. I have seen exactly what you are talking about running up and down the farm market roads and on the highway.

Just MHO I would get rock lights if you're looking to light up the sides/underside of your truck. This way you can change them out easily if/when they die and also control which ones are on and when they're on with an up fitter switch. Also they'll be way more useful if you ever off road (early mornings or at dark) being able to see what's under your truck.

These are the ones I was going to get and you could probably use them as running board lights. Lux makes some great lights and are super easy to instal and also move around for different placement because they're magnetic.

If you like em, get them. I lit up my xlt side thing with amber lights. I like it. So if you like it, i say get it.

Not quite as extreme but enough for side and step visibility...

Very nice. Thank you. Nice steps too.

I've been commuting in the dark lately and I've seen a lot of big rigs with the amber side lights lit up. It certainly makes them very visible in a sea of other vehicles (or an empty desert road for that matter). Definitely gets my attention.

I've seen this on other rigs too. It's sweet.

I added rock sliders to the underside of my ranger parallel to my steps. I did it for puddle like lighting when doors opened and interior lamps came on. They're white. So Amber rock sliders would shine up. Mine have been on for 5 years.

Trying to picture your setup...

Simple
I didn’t have puddle lamps on mirrors.
wired rock slider lights underneath to illuminate around steps at nighttime when unlocking or doors opening.

That's the steps...Where's the rock slider?
