There are some big trucks in Oz already with brilliant white LEDs all over the front and along the cab. I've passed a few in my late night driving and they are eye blinders. I don't like them...!

Love the Jap car culture, its so broad!! They go nuts and its not just off-the shelf bits too, much of it is custom made
They should install arcade games in the back of them - Time Crisis out the back of your truck would be awesome!
