My ground lights are up and running!!!

Well, after some setbacks, its finally done.

First was the money to buy the lights.
Then I couldnt figure out where to runt he power line fromt he relayt o the lights.
Then it was a relay that would stick closed, leaving my lights on.
Then it was blowing fuses because I was running 4x 55W lights off a 15A fuse (It was 19A draw).

Theyre mounted ont he Running Board brackets. When I take off the boards, Im going to have to move the lights up to the running board mounts ont he body (where the brackets bolt ot the body). The spot seemed perfect. Light is pretty even, and the entire bottom (in between the wheelbase) is lit up.

But now its done, and it got inducted officially onto the truck with some mud.

Ed: I have 4 under there. Theyre "Burner" brand fog lights from wal mart. Cost $15 a pair. The project ended up costing me $200, because i rewired all my lights, prewired for my OEM style fog lights, and prewired an extra circuit Im going to use for backup lamps.

A stupid question... you don't do any rock crawling so why is this necessary? Or is it just a bling thing? Don't be offended, I'm not being a smarta$$ or anything.

Even on some lights trails, its nice to know where exactly all your wheels are. If not, you could end up smashing something on a rut or the like.
