For those of you who have put under carriage lights on your runners, how did you do it? What lights did you use? Pictures? I tried searching but I am not really sure what you would call this mod?

Rock lights, that's what I call 'em at least... Also interested, if someone can point me to some cheapo lights...

Yeup, "rock lights" is what you're searching for...

Sean's link didn't work (weird!) this is what he was pointing you at:

The short form is that a lot of folks use "backup lights" that you can buy at any parts store. Mounting is on an as-required type system. The lights will come with some sort of brackets, and you need to find a bolt in the frame that you can piggyback on, or drill a new on (be careful drilling a frame!). Placement is usually one light behind each front wheel and one light in front of each rear wheel. Wiring is through a relay and a new switch on the dash.

An alternative to backup lamps is to spend WAY too much money and use LED lighting like what's used on ricer cars. Check out this thread and head to the end for some pics. They're expensive, but a) work, b) draw a lot less current, c) are fun!

I just installed some on my 3rd gen but have yet to wire them. I bought a pair of rectangular "blazer" brand aux. driving lights from wal-mart for $16.00/pr. Since they're in a nasty location anyway and prone to getting messed up, it's dumb to buy nice expensive lights. These work just fine. Also, I drilled holes into the body just below the headlights and behind the bumper. They're completely tucked up in there and angled so that they illuminate right in front of the front tires. The hardest part about the installation is removing the bumper to drill holes to mount the lights. Hope this helps your decision..

I use a pair of "tractor" lights on one of the body mount brackets:

Great information everyone. I can't wait to put these on. I tend to end up wheeling into the night and could sure use these. It beats the spotter with a maglight.
