Why do people put those lights on their trucks? Is it like a rule or a style thing?

I would rather come up on this than old dim lights!

Another cool, but wacky thing, would be to have a plasma screen on the back of the truck showing their car rear ending the back of the truck using the bumper cam.
The strobe light for tailgaters and people that follow with high beams on would be funny also.
I know, "That Boy ain't right," is what many people would think.
Guess it must be my warped sense of humor!

It's partly style, and mostly smart.

We just swapped out our box lights to led's. I have had no desire to add more lights, this was just because I'm tired of getting the ladder out to change bulbs, but after changing these few out I'm starting to get an itch...

There is nothing better than rolling down the interstate on a dark moonless night bathed in an amber glow...true story.

... Was out in the fog the other day and REALLY appreciated the truck in front of me with multiple...and bright LED's...
... I also put LED's computer chip brake lights on my straight and really notice a difference in how quickly other drivers reacted to brake lites and turn signals after install...
... sooo it seems that while I think most folks do it just for style statements...the safety advantages are there to back the decision...
... On a CMV tho..if you add the lights...you better make sure they all work ...all the time..

Its kinda like if you own a Harley or think you own a Harley, the required attire is a black Harley T-shirt and doo rag.
One drawback to LED brake and running lights is there is no heat generated to melt snow from the lens. Incandescent bulbs usually produce enough heat to at least melt enough snow in the center of the lens making it visible.
I gots me some chickin lights on my lil ol van but no chain drive wallet, yet.
