Vehicle Modification
Look at your truck and figure where you would like to place your lights. I am using a 80's Tonka truck which has a plastic grill. I would not do this to a vintage truck...I am going to stick with this 80's model mainly because the dump bed is flat which makes for good drainage when you place a nice potted plant in it. The 70's/60s' variant has an angled lip which is not condusive to drainage of this type.
Drill your holes for the 10 mm white LED headlights. Make sure they fit but do not glue them in yet.
(Optional)Drill a hole for your flashing yellow light or if you prefer you can use a smaller white LED in the cab as a Dome Light.
