Curious, what does that kind of light help you with? Change your oil?

I kid... but seriously... seems to only light up the area between your tires. Doesn't help the driver at all.

Yea, rock lighting is great for spotters, so they don't get blinded by the head lights.

Yes, these are more for spotters than driver. Its nice for them to see the rock placement along with diff and tie rod placement.

I'm adding more under the rear and along the rockers. It will be well lit underneath when done.

If you run Steelbender, get a picture at the The Wall (if you think of it). That's where we got turned around last year. But that was with a little truck, not yours. :awesome:
