Headlights.

Hello.

First you will need a screwdriver. ;)
But all of the parts are somewhat cheap and easy, for some of the hams at least. ;)

As you can see, the overall cost of relamping was under $100, well within my budget.
There is no increase on current drain, remember that the landing lights were already there and are used only to illuminate an area as needed.
There are 2 large equipment batteries in place of an under hood battery in a split configuration and a charge isolator.
This truck is sometimes used in the construction trade and as such is used to run parts at night as well as providing lighting to work with.
It does have warning strobes and an old Federal Signal light bar, nothing hamsexy, the day glo vest all radios go with the job. :)

Sounds interesting,. If I had a truck I might give it a try. If I had a truck I would love to get one of those police helicopter HID searchlights mounted on it. You could light up the road bright as day with one of those.
