Ain't no such thing as "too many" lights as long as we are talking marker lights. More than 2 headlights (I'm talking bumper lights and you A-holes know who you are) is definitely too many since they create twice as much glare for other drivers.

I count over 200 lights on my unit and sometimes I still feel invisible when some jackwagon cuts me off.

Lots of chicken lights down the side of my truck provides lighting at night so walking on strange terrain isn't so precarious. You never know what you might step in when you park where truckers park!

Chicken lights just plain look good. The general public loves to see those big fancy large cars with all the lights. It's part of American lore. We are old school and we ain't going away!

Now some guys are tasteless with their lighting application. Some trucks look like the owner just grabbed a handful of lights and threw 'em at the truck. Some guys go overboard trying to outline everything. Some guys have mis-matched lights which creates an unbalanced situation; ya know some are way too bright and drown out the others.

And it beats looking at the millions of crappy-azz fleet garbage clogging up our roads.

A benifit for you, but not the other truck said driver runs into while staring at all your lights :hellno:

All lights on your truck are required to work unless they have recently changed the rules.

You can have as many lights as you want, but they all have to work.
