Very nice. But not the only way to go for everyone.

Looks great. Let me know how they do with snow and ice buildup. My understanding is that they produce zero heat.

Yep. Very good and cheaper alternatives out there.

Here is the $34 harness I got from Ebay.
People said it's better than the Putco.
2 months and works fine so far.

No build up at all exept when its not moving it will build up on the ledge right inderneath.
It is hard to get used to in the snow because the lights are white and so is the snow messed with my eyes a bit takes some getting used to

Installed the Putco two weeks ago. It's amazing what the stock lights put out afterwards... Plow lights are a little funky now but that's for another day...

What sort of relays does the Putco use? Can I get replacements at Radioshack or something?

BW-4136, won't find it at a Radio Shack as it's pretty much only an automotive application.

I've had luck finding these relays at some auto parts stores, the most recent was Canadian Tire. (Not that you have those in the US though, lol). It isn't difficult to swap to a regular 5-pin relay either, if you are worried about availability of the BW-4136 ones.
