Not my cup of tea the lights but love the truck

Just make sure you only use them off the road.

More interesting trip to work than mine for sure. Nice photos, did you photo shop the lights?

Madmark · 10-11-2015, 10:47

Photoshop? No its green led 501 bulbs thought it would be bit different. I've found green halos that might work if I separate the lights and fit inside. Not every ones cup of tea but nice to be different lol

My drive to work is why i have 4x4. The back drive from farm is basically a track with bumps pot holes etc for mile and half and drops into my home village where I work so 3 miles door to door.

Fez_uk · 10-11-2015, 11:13

Ah I see you replaced your standard bulbs I thought you managed to fit a 2nd set of lights in there so they are not always green, If the police see these lit they will pull you.

Here In country we are on good turms with local bobby lol as only one and good friend of ours. All we have really is local tin hitlers with community speed gun. I found with 42" led light bar and 4x100w spot lights it doesn't get pointed at me these days lol

Nice pictures, I also live on a farm with a long track leading up to it ( not quite 1 1/2 miles though).

Lol!!!! I don't like the sound of sore plumbs

Yeah nice to meet you too bud

Mines changed a bit since then too but for the worse

It's getting there though

Love the green sidelights

had them 20 years ago by painting my standard 501 bulbs

but the are totally illegal your local copper might turn a blind eye to them (you've prob blinded him with your other lights

) but other coppers won't be happy about them but most people just get a defect notice & they have to be changed back to white within 5 days & get the form stamped by a MOT tester before you hand it in to the police station

terranosaurusdoug · 14-11-2015, 23:34

So what's illegal about coloured side lights?

Years ago (when I was an idiot lol) I got a tug from local plod for general numb-scullery, we spoke a little about blue sidelights that i had and she told me as long as they do not flash they're not illegal

But I'll be frank, I can't really be bothered to research it

Law states only white or amber lights at the front & red or amber at the rear, I had around 5 defect notices for mine but got a letter through the post saying any more & I would be in court for it

all of my Son's mates have been pulled for the same thing yet trucks never get stopped for blue & green marker lights

Madmark · 14-11-2015, 23:50

Went out this eve as first test for spot lights. And dam!! Theres alot of light on front now. 4x55w spots. 2x60w from head lights and 240w led bar. It pics up all animal eyes and best part of 1\4 mile ahead its mental and everyone dipped before they saw me. Think that'll do for lighting lol
