    then I took a dremel and cut a hole for the switch (I will put a waterproof switch in later)

    This is just an alternative to the $200 light bar and lights. Hope this helps someone out.

    looks great well done. i'm thinking of something similar but was wondering if they could be wired into the high beam switch?

    do you have a picture of the backside of the turn signal bar? I'm having a hard time seeing how the u shaped bracket attaches to the bar. Very Nice job.

    Its the bolt that holds the signal on. Removed it and put it through the bracket and re installed it.

    Mick, the wire to the headlight in the bucket looked to small to pull that many amps. Today its raining so Ill be installing a relay in behind the headlight and and using the high beam wire to pick up the relay for its signal voltage. I,ll post some more pics later when I do it. When done this way there would be no real need for a switch in the neck , but I wanted a way to cut them completely off.

    Ok, so after driving last night Im adding a relay to the high beams.
    When you pull the head lamp you can see that the wires are really to small to pull the lights.
    I had a 12v 40 amp relay so I went with that(walmart sells relays also so pick one up whle your there).
    I pulled the power to the driving light in the bucket then cut it and added female crimp on both sides. These will go to your NO set of contacts.
