Eddie although that trailer looks sick with all the the lights done the side but FYI all lights from rear axle back must be red and all lights front of axle amber/yellow
Not true. Lights facing forward amber and lights facing rear red. Side can be amber to the back as long as there not rear facing. He done it right by making them red on the rear facing of the fenders.
I added marker lights down my 24ft equipment trailer as you did. A few of the amber lights I made work with my blinker. 3 per side - so approximately every 8 ft. Somebody driving a lane over on a highway can see I'm coming over from anywhere along the vehicle and trailer. I also tricked it out with some underlighting which helps immensely with knowing right where the trailer is at night when backing up and the cool factor of changing colors (can even make them flash amber for roadside emergency). I also, added a 48" light bar mounted underneath on a 5ft x 3" pc of channel for protection.and stability, operates from a switch for lighting up the back and behind my trailer for night loading and that lights also when i place mty truck in reverse. My trailer is 102" w so I mounted 2 36" light bars at the front for night loading and lighting the deck. Also added spiked neo chromed lug nuts lol.
what lights did you use for underneath the trailer? I'm curious because i would like to mount some white lights for driving, but also have them flash amber for roadside emergencies.
@@SnailHouseProjects also I did have to purchase a seperate wire extension kit. But still had to coil the excess wire up and zip tie under the trailer. FYI my trailer is 26 ft long you may not need the extension kit for a shorter trailer.
@@richallen8742 nice. but you said you tricked it out with underlighting, i was wondering what lights you used for underlighting that change colors. I am wanting white lights under my horse trailer i just don't know what are the best lights for that... i can wire a bunch of 3/4" lights on a rail, or LED Strips. and i can wire in some ambers to act as blinkers under the trailer.
Just a heads up. But here in Texas where you put the yellow marker lights toward the back would be a ticket. Idk if California is the same but wouldn't be surprised if they were.
Hopefully you have your class a cuz I know that trailer is more than 10,000 GVWR 👍🏽 but yes sir you got chicken lights on that trailer now 10-4 keep on trucking 👊🏽
@@EddieLife3500 if your truck and trailer both GVWR come by over 26,001lbs you need a commercial driver's license a or b.

Doesn't matter if you haul it behind a little Toyota pickup if the GVWR is over 10,000 lb class a automatically

Bed liner will peel off. I tried it on my deck held up for a year. Use paint with sand mixed in it.
I put a coating over it that is supposed to prevent that
Eddie you can get white and black reflective tape to replace the red and white
Check out mag drill bits. They themselves are badass little machines, can drill horizontal with ease through thick thick metal.
What did you use to wiring the clearance lights together
Do you need truck taillights ?
You're an absolute tools addict hahaha i love it man, great vid!
Looks good man

Good job Eddie 👍🏻 that’s a badass trailer !
Got pulled over hwy patrol has to be red from back of rear axle to rear he was cool gave me a fix it ticket
DOT wants amber in front of the axles and red behind them, looks good though!
I am doing the same thing to my trailer, were you worried about adding all the lights to the trailer without a fuse or anything?
No sir
What brand are the drill bits and step bits
Champion
How exactly did you wire those lights ?
All the led tap into the the trailer harness and every single one has a ground ? I’d like some info
Correct it’s a lot of work but awesome when done
Do you have any pictures on how you wired the lights together?
No sorry but I just grounded them to the trailer and then looped a power wire to each one
Jamming that Aldean though on the CZcams 👊🏻🟥⬜🟦🍻
I want to do the same but I’m hesitant about structural on the trailer. Do you think Swiss cheesing the frame would weaken it ?
Dude. It's tiny 3/4 holes. It's not like an isuzi frame
Will it rust?
Red and white stickers are cool they will grow on you. I want to put some on my they old they look nice at night

Shit California is probably worse than
@@EddieLife3500 you should be able to replace them with red ones and be legal. Luckily a city cop gave me a heads up before I got a ticket.
A few too many for my liking but still looks good. Amber goes in front of the axle and red in the rear btw
Milwaukee is a good brand but there drill bit suck I burn them to fast or they broke I went to dewalt no complian
Never enough chicken lights!
Where has Efren been?Sure do miss that guy.It's been a year ➕ since we have seen or heard from him.
No comment?
