I was thinking of marker lights myself but everything I can find available is really oversized for the application IMO. The Lund Moonvisor has lights that are a more correct scale size but the visor adds too much wind resistance for my taste.

these do seem to be a bit long, have not needed anybig off road lights, the head lights work good enough for me on the trails and I have a hand held spot light. just like the way they look while on sitting at the top of hills or coming down the road.

I don't think it looks right on any small truck.

you know what the hardest part about putting a high five lights on your truck is ???




































telling your family and friends your gay....

J/K my buddy said the same thing about owning a toyota

I had the thought last night that if you really wanted some marker lights you could try one of those amber LED strips. They have them in short[long] enough lengths to run across the whole front of the cab and would only require one small hole for the wiring... You would then have that fully lit roof line like some truckers have... not sure how much light they would through into the cab though, they might be distracting or cause interference with your vision in some weather conditions.
Still an idea worth considering...

it don't look to bad. still looks better than some mods that are out there. and you know what they say, if you like it, do it and ignore what everyone else says

do those emit a strong orange glow in the fog?
