Yep, the lighting business is over the top, but if they are on there, 
they have to work.  Even if not required.  I only run the minimum for 
obvious reasons on my trucks.

The Imron would be a good choice for me.

I can't remember all the questions, but I do not plan on using it to haul hay so that eliminates one of the potential uses.  It will have a flip down gooseneck hitch.  I have one on the truck now and he will use the same system, in fact he's going to build the bed around it.  I like the idea of lights in the headache rack, but I think I will try to install somethng that can be turned off and on via switch in the cab.  It would be nice to check on loads every now and then (or have some more light when strapping something down.  The builder indicated that the biggest problem with multiple lights is you will get a ticket if they don't work, even if they are more decorative than required by law.  Does anyone know if this is true?  I know side marker lights are not required on a truck, but could I really get a ticket if it doesn't work?  Seems rather over the top,!
