Finished this one up early last week. It took me about 3-4 weeks total start to finish. First time adding lights to any truck of mine. Quite the lengthy process but so worth the results. Added headlights, turn signals, cab lights, and red underglow. Along with the leds I did quite a bit of modifications. Scratchbuilt sleeper, suspension lowered a few mm's, 3d printed exhaust tips, rear fenders, rims, bumper, and running lights. Vintage decals. Plus other little odds and ends. Enjoy!

Excellent Alex!

If I may suggest something, when you take nighttime photos with the lights on, they will look better if you don't take them in almost total darkness. That way the truck will remain visible.  Like in this photo (not my model).

I like the setup, Alex.  And the truck looks awesome with all the customization parts.
Lastly, I must say that your choice of “forrest” background goes well with the trucks.

Looks really good! I'm envious! Got you installing lights and I can't find time to finish a kit!!

First big rig with lights I remember was in an old AutoWorld catalog. It was a highly detailed Movin' On KW
