    I was wondering if any of you end dump guys could give me advice on lights. I am looking to hook up lights between the spread like red led lights and suggestions where to mount and what kind of lights would hold up. Want to have them glow on the ground

    Red lights may get you into problems with the dot. Red lamps are only supposed to be on the rear of a vehicle. I'd suggest going with Amber just for this reason.

    That's not exactly right. My kw has the front turn signals mounted on the front fenders. Amber to the front and red to the back......

    I believe the rule is red lights have to shine to the back if the vehicle . Shining red lights back or down might be ok...... Do your self a favor shut them off before driving thru a scale house .
