Anyone ever monkey around with this brand? Tomar has a pretty good name for itself in the emergency vehicle realm and I was thinking about using a few for exterior lighting.... Im thinking about mounting them to the running boards. I would mount them on top in between the truck body and the running board and tuck them as far as I could underneath so that they wouldn't get toe kicked. The thought here is just to tie them into the illumination wire much like the cargo light stays on for 30 seconds or so when you unlock the doors via the key fob. Three on each side would easily do the trick I think. Here is an SUV with lights mounted in the same area I'm am thinking about doing.
I now wish that I would have done a turn signal mod with a few of these in amber. They are stupid bright and could maybe be distracting to others, but who knows.
Which also brings up a different issue.... I recently installed the m&r backup lights in my rear bumper. 2 massive holes cut in my bumper.... they don't look bad, but these lights (Tomar's) are stupidly small and really really bright....I would still have to have holes, but only one 3/8" drill bit hole and two 1/4" holes for the mounting bolts. I haven't taken an illuminated photo yet but plan on it soon. I just tested them out using a battery jump box and they walk the walk.
I also wish I would have installed a few of these inside my truck bed instead of the recon hd led light strips. The recons are sufficient, but if most of us just wanted sufficient, we would drive a regular f150.
