    Great looking 4R!

    I know I've read it somewhere in the past, but what's the significance of the amber / blue lights on the back of the vehicle? IIRC it has some significance in desert racing.

    The amber light is a dust light and the blue light is required if you are a slower class to show the faster guys you are slower than them.

    Thanks, I have been registered for awhile but just never got around to actually posting up my truck. It is nothing compared to so many others trucks here!

    Exactly what RU55ELL said, all race vehicles have the amber and the blue is to show that you are slow. It is amazing how visible these lights are from a distance.

    I usually do not keep the blue light in there, in about a minute I can put in a white light that functions as a nice reverse light. For that reason I have the left and right lights on separate switches.
