I see....not really, I like them.......if I was gonna trick a truck i'd use them. Some like other lights. It's kind of like our trucks....most of us are using exhaust kits that exit behind the right rear tire. The rest do stacks or duals behind each tire, and a few morons do duals straight out the back. I guess most people like a single side exit, like most truck guys like the round lights...

Dallas is the big show. There are other shows around the country. Google: The Great American Trucking Show, Iowa 80, Truckin News, OOIDA, or Americas Chrome Shops. All these are good places to start looking.

In the truckin industry those are one of the most desired things buy truck drivers. Giving the truck an antique look. Esp Peterbuilts. Most of trucks are used daily. But the super modified trucks are just show trucks. No way could they stay that nice with some of the rookies out here bumpin into them. Not to mention wear and tear.
