That. Is. Awesome! Truck looks like a better version of the Tango and Cash hero truck! I say it not to knock the movie ride, but the actual vehicle is such a haphazard build up close!

@TheRaven posted some pics with the push bar, hope it helps

Thanks but your bar is very different from mine. Your upper bar is quite a bit higher. Mine sits centerline with the top edge of the headlight enclosures. So where the alpharex lights bulge out at the top is dead center on the upper bar, and i've got about 1.5" of clearance with stock lights. So best I can tell, it would be like a ballhair's clearance there.

they are completely plug and play, no wiring is required. The only thing you would need to wire up is the DRL harness if you want them brighter all the time. otherwise the DRLs run all the time and adjust with the headlights.

Really? They're not super bright but they are on. Stupid question but are you looking at them when the car is in drive? I know that if the car is on but in park the drls are off only in drive during the day they turn on

How’s long term use with them? I see you’ve had them for a while now.
