We are of like minds. I am running the wiring through ½" PVC conduit. Solid PVC for the straight runs and then a tough flexible ½" PVC to each lamp. Under the hood where the wiring is higher up on the vehicle I am using a lighter weight flex tubing rather than the heavy weight. I only want to do it once.

I have catalogs from the local NAPA dealer that shows Grote brand LEDS as well as all of their lighting available. The day I picked them up a Grote representative was on site with a display trailer showing all of the different LED units.

Jennifer, the store owner, has offered me some special reduced prices on the lights if I go that route. It is just a matter of making selections and ordering. The prices she offered compared favorably to those I found on Ebay.

I pull a 16' tailer with my 3800. It has electric brakes on it as well as conventional lighting. So far I've never run into electrical low battery problems. When I converted my '49 to 12 volts I put on a 60 amp alternator because I still have the small battery under the floor.

I appreciate you help. Like the old slogan said, "Keep on Truckin".
