Chris in Ct 0 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 How are the lights attached to the truck? I think if I did something like that my wife would have me commited,but it is something to think about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
datcapital 0 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 He said that the lights are actually 100 light strings sewn to canvas that is buttoned to the truck that way it holds on at freeway speeds. -Duane Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Bull 8 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 That looks cool looking on that Truck!! by the why is that a Mack Truck??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VO1HAX 10 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Look like someone has competition...just short out his battery and cut the cords. Or you can really drive him nuts by loosening 1 bulb per set...he'll never figure it out then! That's really cool-- is it street-legal? -Tim I have my doubts!!! I know where I live, it's illegal to have neon under-car lights because they cause too much of a distraction to drivers. I can see it now, 30 car pile up on the 401 due to...*stops*...where do people get these ideas? It looks cool, yes, but you can't tell me it's safe! Having drivers distracted by 50,000+ high-speed strobing LED lights on someone's house is one thing, but that there is a whole other story! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Pidliskey 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Usually most rigs like that have inverters on them. Not sure if it would be legal to drive down the street with all those lights lit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
howierd3866 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I use generater on my...I was told inverter doesn't work good for long period of time...as for him having the lights on his truck...its better be a small town thing where you know everyone or a parade rgar night Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rescue_653 10 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Even worst case scenario if it is street legal, he could have a whole different problem. Most states are very strict on semi's if they use "decorative" lighting as you see alot of your high end truck and trailers that have all the clearance/marker lights on the cab and trailer even though not necessary but done for looks not operation once applied to the truck they will write you a ticket for a burnt out light if one of those additional lights are burnt out. Could you imagine the state man writing you a ticket for a burnt out Christmas light? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Loftus 2 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 in Illinois, it would not be legal. If you notice on a car, Amber color lights are used for running and turn signal. Newer vehicles use red for turn signals in the rear of the vehicle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
