Well, I added marker lights down both sides of White Lightning a couple of weeks ago! They turned out GREAT! Pictures
are below. The measurements that I used for placement are as follows: The length of the WHITE step side panel
from the leading edge to the trailing edge is 104 1/2 inches. I placed the light assembly centers 23 inches apart
from each other. The first light assembly center point is 5 1/2 inches aft of the leading edge of the WHITE step panel.
The second light center point is 28 1/2, the third is 51 1/2, the forth is 74 1/2, and the 5th is 97 1/2 inches aft of the
leading edge of the WHITE step panel. Three holes are drilled for each light assy. I used a 1 1/8 inch DeWalt
hole saw bit to drill the center hole for each assy at the measurements listed earlier. I then went back and use the
appropriate drill bit size to drill the mount bolt holes. All holes center point are 1 1/4 inch ABOVE the bottom lip
of the panel. They look great in the day and AWESOME at night. I have had several positive comments on them already.
I wired them into the stock Volvo trailer Umbilical attatch fitting. The job took me 8 hours from start to finish.
Here's a little hint that will make your install time a couple hours less......Mark ALL the holes at once and drill them all
at once! I measured, drilled, and installed one light assembly at a time instead of doing it the assembly line
way!

This was taken at night, but the flash kinda overpowered the lights. They are PLENTY bright. |
