I alwasys thought the front of the bronco cab is identical to that of the pickup trucks, at least around the windshield...

My projects usually run out of time so my wiring is still a mess...lol
Heres my strobes. The brake lights and another pair of ambers alternate on the rear. (Oh the fun you can have with diodes... )
Aye, diodes are god's gift to the aftermarket lighting installer. By the way, did you know Ford uses diodes w/ spade ends in underhood fuse boxes of many newer vehicles? They look sorta like a fuse, only are solid black in color, and one of the legs is turned sideways so you physically can't plug it in place of a fuse. Well, they also say "diode" on them, and have the symbol to indicate current flow direction cast in their body (as opposed to just printed w/ ink), and they come in different sizes too. IMHO those are perfect for our purposes since you don't have to solder them inline, just use suitably-sized space connectors.

I wish those idiots with purple, blue, green, and other front side markers would get a ticket for it....and the idiots with purple headlights...
Shhh, don't let Danielle hear ya! lol But purple headlights ain't nothing, as a kid I remember seeing a freshly-imported Porsche running around w/ RED headlights - that only lasted about a month, he ended up in a head-on collision w/ a big ol logging tractor trailer while trying to pass someone on a 2-lane road - trucker only went through town once a week and lived way out in the boonies so the gossip about the new "fancy" car in town never reached him, he never realized what he sees in front of him ain't two tail lights till it was too late! Oddly enough I ended up driving for him outta high school, he still had that Porsche-killer tractor at the time, complete w/ battle scars in the form of slightly deformed bull bars.

Fixed... I do need to take some better pictures in the deep night. The 100 watters are technically not street legal, but I have them pointed in such a way that I only got flashed once when I was passing someone in the left lane. As long as I shut them off if I pass and run in the right lane the rest of the time, no one seems to care. The left fog is pointed at the middle of the road directly in front of me. The right fog is pointed just to the right of the fog line and into the ditch so I can see critters at night. I know it's still not legal and you're totally right about the 55 watters, but I do try to be as courteous as possible about it.
Looks like you got same ambers like what I'm running on the 600, 2" or whatever trucker things right? Looks pretty dang good, simple and efficient and not overdone at all. About the lights aiming, I can't do that, I mean I can but I won't - I spend way too much time on empty desolate roads to be willing to sacrifice visibility towards the left side - horizontally I aim my lights as if I'll be driving down the divider line w/ no one around for miles, then I use the vertical aim to adjust for distance and blinding effect - with other drivers present I only use the two small lights on the bottom of the bumper, and to be honest even when I'm alone I rarely run the big ones, factory headlights with the relays mod and Slvania XV bulbs seem to put out quite enough light for my driving habits. Never even been flashed at, but I've been asked by LEOs how I can resist the temptation to use the high-power ones, lol - simple, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, or however that quote goes.

Yeah, I took almost all the amber off. Not a fan. My truck doesn't go through NJ inspection at all (older than 1996 and diesel) and not too worried about a ticket, with all of the rice burner race cars in this area with blue or red or green instead of amber.
That is entirely your decision to make, and I respect your choice - I actually have no problem w/ white, light blue or even green corners on the front, tis them misaligned fake HIDs w/ the hardcore glare that **** me off - what ya got there is fine in my book, I was just warning ya about potential unnecessary flack you may catch about it, that's all.

Technically, if I have red running lights on the rear, I can have amber brake lights.
Goodness, I rest my case. LMAO!
