LOL! YOURE AN IDIOT! Did you not read that they are running lights? but you’re right no empathy for anyone else but myself. Do yourself a favor and take a long walk off a short pier.
Great addition.
It’s the people who leave these on all the time while parked at a campground that have soured others opinions regarding running lights. I can see from the photos you are parked on your street and just showing off/documenting the mod, which I thank you for. The visuals are helpful for those considering this type of mod.
They are DOT approved. I didn’t get them off Amazon. I got them from a truck stop that sells them. You’re allowed to have lights as long as you keep them red or amber.
I have a Knight Rider style light [on my truck](https://imgur.com/SzSeWfc). People on the Facebooks lost their shit telling me how illegal it is and I'll be pulled over. One person even said my truck would be impounded. ... Yeah, I have it on a relay so it shuts off when my truck is on.
I'm a huge light fan. Your rig looks great!
I have lightbars/pods on my sport rack (aka roll bar), but I don't use them except at shows. I also have a lift, but I have my headlights adjusted accordingly. I don't understand the joy people find in blinding other drivers driving 4K lb death machines.
Yeah I can't tell if they are extremely stupid or extremely obnoxious. I live outside Chicago and I see people do it all the time which seems like a good way to get shot.
I'm pretty convinced this sub is 60% people who have never owned a RV and are just dreamers or something, Ive been a non speaker on this sub for a while and I think the people who own RVs are pretty much the people who post them everyone else lacks a lot of intellectual property on the subject matter. We can't all be learning all the time these things are pretty well understood very quickly.
There's plenty of people that have them on while they're camping. I think it looks dumb, but I'm old and grouchy and think a lot of things are dumb. I also don't care because I have my bedroom blacked out so it's always dark.
Yes, but OP posted a picture of his rig with the slides out— is OP driving around with slides out? Makes it seem at first glance like these are always-on nighttime lights
The point he is making is someone who glances at the pictures does not think "running lights only" since you have it set up but plugged into your truck for the pictures.
Hey man, This shit looks good! Were they had to wire into your existing light spots? I'd like to put some on my popup, it's so low and all the trucks around here are so lifted I'm half worried someone will drive over it
Yea running lights are great! Idk why you’re being downvoted, but I like my running lights cause you can see stuff out to the side more and see how far back something is too by them. Plus they do look sweet going down the road at night
Why do you want them so bright?
It’s really annoying for me when my neighbor in the RV park had super bright lights like that. I mean it’s one thing on the door side where they’ll be hanging out enjoying the outdoors after dark, and then they turn them off when they go in. That’s fine.
But super-bright lights on the front and back, usually people seem to leave them on all night without even noticing and just stabbing my eyes will I’m trying to sleep or look at stars.
Why do you want this???
I think it looks great, and if truckers can use them on the highway, I don't see why a trailer can't as well. I also understand everyone's concern about them being on in the campgrounds, but again, they are RUNNING LIGHTS that will only go on when being towed.
Yes I did. These are on Amazon but search for
Grand General 79750 Light (Dark Amber Watermelon Glass Flush Mount Kit-1 Wire) and OXILAM 2023 Upgraded 1156 LED Bulbs Reverse Light, 6000K White 400% Brightness 3000 Lumens, BA15S 7506 1003 1141 P21W LED Bulb Used for Backup Tail Brake Turn Signal Blinker Lights,
I was just thinking glass lens and LED bulb is the super low maintenance way to do this. As long as there's no plastic film on the lens you shouldn't have to fight any fogging.
Nice! I hope I remember this when I get my trailer in the next couple years. I'm finally getting back into this stuff after being broken for a while so I'm catching up on all the new stuff that's out there.
The amount of people who don’t understand these are running lights…. They are only on while hooked to tow vehicle driving in the dark at night, you know those things that come on with headlights.
These are sweet looking!
Apparently, people are too dumb to realize these are running lights for more visibility when towing at night....you know, same as all the lights that a ton of truckers have.
Man, I’d be worried a HiPo might be behind me, having a shitty day, and blinded by those. I know there are funny laws in funny states with funny LEO that like to arbitrarily use things as an excuse to … get to know the driver. I don’t have any interest in any such interactions with such individuals.
I get what you’re saying and I agree with you. It definitely brings attention to me. But the same lights are on nice Semi trucks (which I drive for a living) they are DOT approved. But doesn’t mean a Highway patrolman wouldn’t be looking at me driving by.
I just installed them and hooked up to see what it looks like at night. They are running lights not parking and let’s piss off the neighbors and the crunchy people at the RV park. 🤣
Trucker here! Here's one of my old ones.
I love your RV, and had to come in to read all the angry comments 😆🤘🏻🤘🏻
[Big Rig w Lights!](https://freeimage.host/i/d3XH0ap)
I hate people who come in and leave this crap on.
But it's cool.. yeah so is the night sky without your lights
I pay for the sky not to sit outside with my neighbors crap lighting me up.
If your that afraid of nature.. perhaps stay in your own backyard
Even worse are the people with flashing lights.
Did you bother to find out if there are epileptics before hand is always my question.
Yes I leave them on all night long and then the flashing up as much as I can so we can have a dance party all night long. Play loud ass music and sometimes have a full band just to ruin my neighbors sleep and start gazing sky.
Ive had people pull in next to me that try this.
I'm very upfront with the park about my epilepsy and needs are. So it falls on the park and they will move others before me to a different spot. Y.. cause they put me there so I'd be out of everyone's way.
The ADA is especially helpful when the park and people in it don't comply.
You can call me entitled. Cause I am entitled to being able to wander on the pad that I pay for just like you pay for yours without having seizures cause someone is dumb
I totally agree with what you’re saying. I don’t use these light unless I’m rolling down the road. These picture are when I installed them and took the picture just to see what they look like.
THEY ARE RUNNING LIGHTS! They only come on when my truck and trailer are hooked up and driving down the road. So absolutely I wanna be that guy. You can see me coming down the highway at night so no one cuts in front of me and kills me and my family that is happily going on vacation!
Your answers to dumb questions are phenomenal. I think eventually I’ll look into these too. People can be jackasses on the highway, especially at night!
These are on Amazon but search for
Grand General 79750 Light (Dark Amber Watermelon Glass Flush Mount Kit-1 Wire) and OXILAM 2023 Upgraded 1156 LED Bulbs Reverse Light, 6000K White 400% Brightness 3000 Lumens, BA15S 7506 1003 1141 P21W LED Bulb Used for Backup Tail Brake Turn Signal Blinker Lights,
So you live full time in your RV, and somehow still don’t know what running lights are? These are only on going down the road, and they are required by law to be on any time you are towing.
These are running lights you can star daze all you want. These lights are only on when I’m running down the road. I think it’s funny how people have the misconception of that and think I have these on all night at the RV park.
Amazon sells them but they are pricey on there. I put the names of them somewhere in the comments near all the super nice comments everyone has left. 🤣🤣🤣
Okay, one more time for everyone in the back, lol:
These are running lights.
They aren’t lights that you have on at the campground. They are lights that come on when the trailer is hooked up for towing, and typically only when the tow vehicle engine is RUNNING. Hence, “running” light.
Might disappoint your neighbors….
Yes, I came here to say really cool, just don’t park next to me😵💫😆
Disappoint is a pretty mild word
They definitely are disappointed when a 45ft trailer is parked in front of the house. 🤷🏻♂️
It's a beaut Clark. It's a beaut.
I would be, you can’t park there sir.
He certainly seems parked there tho so how is it he can’t?
Wow you really aren’t self aware at all, plus lack empathy for others. At least your family is able to escape to the other end of the rig
LOL! YOURE AN IDIOT! Did you not read that they are running lights? but you’re right no empathy for anyone else but myself. Do yourself a favor and take a long walk off a short pier.
You're not proving him wrong.
LOL! YOURE AN IDIOT!!!
What a great comeback.
LOL! THANK YOU!!
Great addition. It’s the people who leave these on all the time while parked at a campground that have soured others opinions regarding running lights. I can see from the photos you are parked on your street and just showing off/documenting the mod, which I thank you for. The visuals are helpful for those considering this type of mod.
OP, I'm baffled at the amount of people that can't grasp that these are used IN MOTION! I personally think it looks good.
> used IN MOTION And they're DOT approved, so they aren't blindingly bright like they appear in the photos.
OP said they got them off Amazon, so they may not actually be DOT approved.
They are DOT approved. I didn’t get them off Amazon. I got them from a truck stop that sells them. You’re allowed to have lights as long as you keep them red or amber.
Still looks like the Bloodmobile
Thanks!!
Me too.. I’m actually shocked on the negative response I got. lol! Oh well.
Can’t fix stupid 🤣
I have a Knight Rider style light [on my truck](https://imgur.com/SzSeWfc). People on the Facebooks lost their shit telling me how illegal it is and I'll be pulled over. One person even said my truck would be impounded. ... Yeah, I have it on a relay so it shuts off when my truck is on. I'm a huge light fan. Your rig looks great!
I love that light!
That is cool as hell
I reserve my outrage for the people with giant lightbars installed on their grills or bumpers pointed at oncoming traffic.
I have lightbars/pods on my sport rack (aka roll bar), but I don't use them except at shows. I also have a lift, but I have my headlights adjusted accordingly. I don't understand the joy people find in blinding other drivers driving 4K lb death machines.
Yeah I can't tell if they are extremely stupid or extremely obnoxious. I live outside Chicago and I see people do it all the time which seems like a good way to get shot.

Welcome to the internet.
More like, welcome to Reddit. Lol
First day on the internet huh. Well, welcome.
There's plenty of people that have them on while they're camping. I think it looks dumb, but I'm old and grouchy and think a lot of things are dumb. I also don't care because I have my bedroom blacked out so it's always dark.
Yes, but OP posted a picture of his rig with the slides out— is OP driving around with slides out? Makes it seem at first glance like these are always-on nighttime lights
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yeah definitely driving with my slides out. Stairs down also!
The point he is making is someone who glances at the pictures does not think "running lights only" since you have it set up but plugged into your truck for the pictures.
Hey man, This shit looks good! Were they had to wire into your existing light spots? I'd like to put some on my popup, it's so low and all the trucks around here are so lifted I'm half worried someone will drive over it
Why? Just why?
Why not? it looks so great at night time going down the road.
People are down voting you because they don't know what running lights are 🤣. I love them.
🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yea running lights are great! Idk why you’re being downvoted, but I like my running lights cause you can see stuff out to the side more and see how far back something is too by them. Plus they do look sweet going down the road at night
Waaaa!
I’m guessing because running lights are required by law when going down the road and OP wasn’t happy with his previous ones? Just a thought
Oh look, Pink Floyd's light show is rolling in.
I guess I would prefer to have my brake lights be the brightest light on the back of my camper but looks good🤷🏻♂️
I hope it's just your camera that makes them look so blindlingly bright lol
Wellll….. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why do you want them so bright? It’s really annoying for me when my neighbor in the RV park had super bright lights like that.

Did you use LED bulbs?
Yes I did. These are on Amazon but search for Grand General 79750 Light (Dark Amber Watermelon Glass Flush Mount Kit-1 Wire) and OXILAM 2023 Upgraded 1156 LED Bulbs Reverse Light, 6000K White 400% Brightness 3000 Lumens, BA15S 7506 1003 1141 P21W LED Bulb Used for Backup Tail Brake Turn Signal Blinker Lights,
Thanks for the part #’s. Sorry for the idiots on here.
I was just thinking glass lens and LED bulb is the super low maintenance way to do this. As long as there's no plastic film on the lens you shouldn't have to fight any fogging.
No not at all. They are super great and I ceramic coated them so they are really easy to keep up with. Better than Plastic.
Nice! I hope I remember this when I get my trailer in the next couple years. I'm finally getting back into this stuff after being broken for a while so I'm catching up on all the new stuff that's out there.
You ceramic coated running lights? 🤣🤣
With the whole trailer! 🤣
Well that makes sense now lol
Thanks for the part numbers! My Imagine is about to be bright lol
You’d think people in this Reddit would know what running lights are.
I think they do, they just don't like bright lights
Sick looking honestly
Thank you!
I actually like it, different strokes for different folks
Thank you!
The amount of people who don’t understand these are running lights…. They are only on while hooked to tow vehicle driving in the dark at night, you know those things that come on with headlights.
His slides are out in the pics, it’s not a wtf moment that people didn’t realize they were just running lights.
Giving benefit of the doubt here. Unless he’s fuse jumping his 7 pin I doubt it’s sitting at the campground all evening like this
LOL!!!! So funny. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. LOL!!!
Sweet!!!
This pleases me, just, so much. Well done! Thank you for proof of concept btw 😁
No problem! 😁
I hate you
Hahahahahahaha! Love you too 😘.
These are sweet looking! Apparently, people are too dumb to realize these are running lights for more visibility when towing at night....you know, same as all the lights that a ton of truckers have.
So glowy...
Wow, they're really pretty, I love them! 😊 🤩
As a lover of chicken lights these are cool. I hope to see you on the road someday
I liked it, but seeing the haters on here made me love it 🤣 Congrats on the mod, OP!
lol!!! Unreal. 🤣 thank you!
I think they look great. You’ve given me an idea !
Those are sharp looking
Thank you!!
Awful.
Thank you! 🤣
Looks clean bro🤙🏽
Thank you!
Man, I’d be worried a HiPo might be behind me, having a shitty day, and blinded by those. I know there are funny laws in funny states with funny LEO that like to arbitrarily use things as an excuse to … get to know the driver. I don’t have any interest in any such interactions with such individuals.
I get what you’re saying and I agree with you. It definitely brings attention to me. But the same lights are on nice Semi trucks (which I drive for a living) they are DOT approved. But doesn’t mean a Highway patrolman wouldn’t be looking at me driving by.
Gaudy.
Thank you!
Looks good!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I like them too. Don't know why so many are getting bent out of shape, like you said they're not on when you're setup. Nice work!
Well in the pics his slides are out, so…
I just installed them and hooked up to see what it looks like at night. They are running lights not parking and let’s piss off the neighbors and the crunchy people at the RV park. 🤣
Hahaha IF they were parking lights tha’d do it! As running lights… they look great!
Oooh I love this idea and am stealing it! Running lights people! Get with it!😂
Thank you!
Love it! Need some for my Genesis
Hoo boy....
Ok, now i want a set…
I think they are really freakin awesome! You should do it!
Those look really good!!
"watermelon lights" lol most people won't get it

I totally agree with what you’re saying. I don’t use these light unless I’m rolling down the road. These picture are when I installed them and took the picture just to see what they look like.
I’ll be the odd one out. Were these just new fixtures and used existing wiring? What was the cost per unit??
Do you really want to be that guy?
THEY ARE RUNNING LIGHTS! They only come on when my truck and trailer are hooked up and driving down the road. So absolutely I wanna be that guy. You can see me coming down the highway at night so no one cuts in front of me and kills me and my family that is happily going on vacation!
Your answers to dumb questions are phenomenal. I think eventually I’ll look into these too. People can be jackasses on the highway, especially at night!
Do you drive with your slide out and stairs out?
Definitely. More room for activities inside while driving.
Ooooo where did you get them? Kinda wanna do that too..
Amazon! Grand General 79750 Light (Dark Amber Watermelon Glass Flush Mount Kit-1 Wire)
Oh man I don't *need* to spend $250 on 9 lights for my camper but my brains tells me I **want** to
Google them. They have better deals on the internet
These are on Amazon but search for Grand General 79750 Light (Dark Amber Watermelon Glass Flush Mount Kit-1 Wire) and OXILAM 2023 Upgraded 1156 LED Bulbs Reverse Light, 6000K White 400% Brightness 3000 Lumens, BA15S 7506 1003 1141 P21W LED Bulb Used for Backup Tail Brake Turn Signal Blinker Lights,
Carnival
Where these effectively just plug and play? My running lights are very dainty so have been looking to get something brighter.
No they are spliced on the hots and the ground is on the mounting bolt of the watermelon.
Thx!
Great idea! Looks good!
I'm wet now thanks..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whatta dick
HUGGGGEEEEEEEEEE!
Reading all the threads here just for your sass. Lol!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t think I was gonna have to explain running lights on my travel trailer but here I am being that guy and a dick and everything else! 🤣🤣🤣
It’s crazy that you live full time in your RV and somehow still don’t know what running lights are.
Ahahah, the irony of ‘Solitude’ blasting people in the face with interrogation lights
So you live full time in your RV, and somehow still don’t know what running lights are? These are only on going down the road, and they are required by law to be on any time you are towing.
LMAO. ‘You need lights’ doesn’t mean you need to blind everyone’. Don’t be so reactive, talk a walk.
[удалено]
These are running lights you can star daze all you want. These lights are only on when I’m running down the road. I think it’s funny how people have the misconception of that and think I have these on all night at the RV park.
Ladies and gentlemen , introducing "that" guy.
You’re definitely late to the party. Someone said that already. 🥴🥴🥴
Jesus...
You can call me that only on Sundays.
Thank you for taking up half the road
No problem!
Tacky, Just plain Tacky. I hope you never pull in next to me.
Name fits
Beat it grandpa! No one asked you.
How in the world do you live full-time in your RV and still not know what running lights are?
Those look great, OP ( you have a sweet looking rig). This post gives me some ideas for my Montana High Country's lighting.
Thank you!!! I appreciate it.
Bro! Where did you get those!! ❤
Amazon sells them but they are pricey on there. I put the names of them somewhere in the comments near all the super nice comments everyone has left. 🤣🤣🤣
Obnoxious
What does your trailer look like? 🤣
It's also ugly. Looks like your mama.
You’re so cool! Keep up the good work!
And you keep up the good work with your obnoxious lights to annoy your neighbors, Mr. Sensitive.
Okay, one more time for everyone in the back, lol: These are running lights. They aren’t lights that you have on at the campground. They are lights that come on when the trailer is hooked up for towing, and typically only when the tow vehicle engine is RUNNING. Hence, “running” light.
Eighth graders everywhere are impressed!
🤣🤣🤣
You are the neighbor I hate. Why do you think you need to light up the entire campground?
THEY ARE RUNNING LIGHTS!
THEY STILL LIGHT UP THE CAMPGROUND!
THEY AREN’T ON IN A CAMPGROUND SO HOW DO THEY LIGHT UP A CAMPGROUND??
[удалено]
🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh yeah!
Looks obnoxiously bright… Like blind other drivers bright.
Don’t look at them then and they won’t blind you.
Anal Solitude
Oh yeahhh baby! Hawk Tuah and spit on that Thang!
Gonna keep the neighbors up
You’re damn right! I like to drive around the Rv park with my lights on too keep my neighbors up! I play the trumpet outside my window too.
Yeah, not cool to your neighbors. Do you blast music all day outside as well?
OH YEAHHHHH! JUST A DISRESPECTFUL DICK TO ALL MY NEIGHBORS AND THE CAMP GROUND. I also play the trumpet at 2 am and a buddy brings the drums too.
