Newbie question? What is the original intention of "Pre-Runner Lights".

[OVERLORD]

Got it bad. Three REXs, One Street, One Track, and one that a dear buddy left me when he passed. Fast Momma Kaw Green! If Mojito was available on my Gladiator, it would have been mine. OH YES! It would have been mine!

These lights work great, i've had them out in the florida weather for over a year and no issues. I also learned to solder to make the harness for these, highly recommend making a harness with a disconnect plug for ease of removal in the future.

Actually they do, or did anyway, Serve a purpose in that they let slower vehicles know when they're being overtaken in a desert race by faster competitors when it's super dusty. Most racers "pre run" the race course before the event, often at near race speeds and so run these lights to let the locals know they are being overtaken.

What mfr are these lights? I was just looking at a set from Quadratec. Certainly agree with you about the duck. I'm not a regular participant in the duck activities, but I would definitely hold on to that one.

Technically the "Raptor lights" are identification lights, not pre-runner lights.

The amber id lights aren't bright enough to illuminate much, let alone a trail.

90% style but for those in the northeast, it helps others driving in opposite direction see you during snowstorms

Kind of like loud pipes on Harleys or obnoxious cologne guys wear in their 20's before going to the club, pre-runner lights on these vehicles are for show and for garnering attention.

I used the same . That wiring loom connection is on the driver's side wheel well just below the brake master cylinder, just watch out for the pinched off plastic on the reservoir it is very sharp ! When installing my lights I also used a glue gun on the back side of the lights just to keep them in place and a disconnect in the wiring by the grill so it can be easier to remove the grill. I got my lights on Etsy .

What are prerunner lights and what's their original intention? Put simply, prerunner lights are lights that you'd find on a prerunner; it has nothing to do with how wide the vehicle is nor European cities. Well, what's a prerunner then you ask? A prerunner was/is a vehicle used by an offroad race driver to pre-run the course to gain familiarity with the course before a race. The style and look of these vehicles, especially the trucks, gained popularity and prompted multitudes of folks to modify their personal vehicles to have that same look -- think big tires, roll bars, brush guards, lifted suspension, often a nose-high stance, and all sorts of additional lights to make it easier to see and be seen on an offroad race course.
