Spyder headlamps.....my take on 'em...and LIGHTING in general

[shovelbill]

now this kit shows how i want my system to work.....not sure where i'll be getting it yet.....but a 3 position switch is what i want.

of course i'll be running 2G welding wire to the boxes in the rear and front to connect the winch to....something like this

and these work great too...all our tow trucks used a similar setup.......easy and effective, non-intrusive too.

Fyi those quick connect fittings are used for forklifts. I was told that's where they started, you can find better prices looking that way sometimes.

there's no such this as a "pick and pull" in NYC......and i only saw this one so i snagged it.

the two fog light switches from forum members are on their way too......now i have this project to ponder.

Fog lights switch won't fit in the top opening without cutting the hole larger... FYI

i guess it "transforms" a stock truck to one that can mount a winch.......i had one back in the day on my '86....should i post that picture AGAIN? LMAO

yes because i don't know how to read. i'm not the brightest tack in the drawer.

yes sir i saw....but when i'm done i think it will be a nice clean setup. Michael showed me a different airbag switch, i think from an astro van, that i can move to another area......i have a use for the 2 blank plate just right of the steering wheel.

the picture was just to show how i wanted the setup to work.

these are similar to the units we got from WeldBuilt for our wreckers

i dig the dual terminals....gives options for down the road. will make it easier to do dual batteries too. when i get set up for the winch i'll be using a seperate dual battery system that will give me options as to how i want to use the batteries.....two of these Odysseys will provide more than adequate power to operate a good winch without issue.

Whoa, hubba-hubba, I'm digging the AGM batt. If anyone else comes across here, there is an Interstate with dual terminals in our Group 78 size. MTP-78DT I have it and it's been the usual great Interstate product. They've got a new AGM one that I'd love to try but mine works and $$$$$$$$$$$

i generally have no issue with Interstate.....they do have some good products. i just went with what i'm most comfortable using as i know these Odysseys are top shelf.....and there's no doubt in my mind. i just took an Interstate out. i would have been happy to keep it, but it's died 3 times since i've owned the truck, there's not much reserve to this one.

i'm going to go check out the one you have.
