What do you think of using motorcycle flush mount lights? I know that is opening the door and I'm good with it. Thinking of using the small clear lights on my fender just under my Hemi emblem Euro style. Also might make for a slick cab light for some trucks.

I dunno, I think this would look good on 3/4 tons and up but a little ricey on 1/2 tons

A lowered RCSB will always look ricey to some and I've gotten over that a long time ago. I like to tease a factory theme a little and transplant the Euro side signals light look to the truck. I don't like the marker light incorporated into the mirrors, just looking for something a little different.

Behind or under? To light up the emblem?

I'm thinking either just below the emblem or in place of it.

Maybe someone can "photo shop" it for me?

It's just that those lights remind me of the washer nozzle LEDs lol, I would have to see it, I'll Photoshop something tomorrow.

I think the idea sounds cool but when executed doesn't have the same effect. Just my .02

It's kinda European/*** Theme, "however" in White oval with Amber Bulb it might look good mounted as flush as possible and is a great safety feature to let the blind spot assholes know your comin over, Hemi Style.

Cab Lights, your playing with fire there if you don't have a good plan before drilling. You could practice on an old roof first...LOL...Personnally OEM or Recon Upgrade is not everyones Cup of tea. I got a set waitin to go on but i feel the Fact i got a Truck Cap it would look good on mine, overall I like extra lighting as long as it not as they say up here too French!

I'm in agreement, like I said "it didn't jump at me". Besides all my really tight shirts have beer logo's and I don't have any high heels to wear with them...
Thanks for the input...

I think those side lights only look good if they are factory. If you do decide to do it then defiantly do it in place of the Hemi emblem.
