definately either service or perhaps consider replacing your hubs, depending on type/cost. at a minimum...service the hubs (bearings) prior to heading south. i'd be as concerned about those little guys as the lights. also...DO NOT go the quick route for wiring and use "scotch locks". use good quality butt connectors. believe it or not...for such a simple piece of hardware...there are different grades (speaking of the connectors you use). really...they should be soldered and heat shrunk. if you dont solder...butt connectors will be fine as long as you take your time and protect them from the elements. forgot to mention, depending on state registration, if no one mentioned prior, and state inspection requirements...all lights must function. i also agree big time with a prior poster...those lights on the leading legs or leading fenders are big time important for me personally during night time hauling.
