Depends on your budget man. What kind of lights are you looking for, offroad lights maybe? Jj sells LED bars of many different sizes, they're ridiculous. Might wanna check those out.

A bull bar would be alright. You could put some behind the grill..

You can go with LED lights as they are best suited on most occasions.

chicken lights are just random lights wherever, behind the grill, in the bumper, under the tailgate, that kinda thing. never heard of chicken lights before?

HAHAHA...."Chicken Lights" is a term that used to reference those big trucks that had lights everywhere.... outlined in lights. Not so popular anymore as they were in the 80's and 90's. It is said that guys that drove chicken trucks had so much extra time waiting for loading and unloading that they started putting lights everywhere on the trucks - or something like that

haha yah, i dont know why i called them chicken lights. i drive a truck with tons of lights on it prolly why. i pull a 42ft trailer and it has somewhere around 55 -60 lights on it. truck has about the same

what are some good lights to put behind the grill? wantin some bright off road lights, any suggestions?

Chicken lights maybe from chicken haulers? My last big truck was an '02 KW W900L 86" studio pulling a 50' ****** with 10'-2" spread. Truck and trailer totaled 138 lights above and beyond what is DoT required. Ran around the country getting about 4mpg. Chicken lights refers to big fancy trucks, usually fast and usually out there in the left lane where big trucks belong.

at least you drove a w900L! best looking trucks on the road in my opinion. you can never have too many lights either.

Takes about 10 minutes minus the wiring and mounting time in the truck.
