Shelter receives funding for extreme weather beds AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter The B.C. government is funding 10 extreme weather shelter spaces at Seasons House this winter. “We always have overflow,” Seasons House Executive Director Melanie MacDonald said. “We never turn anyone away, unless they’re a risk.” Funding for the spaces begins now until March 31, 2015 as communities issue extreme weather alerts for their area. “Extreme weather shelter beds aim to support homeless people that might be turned away due to a lack of bed space,” Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes said. “The extreme weather shelter beds are made possible by funding from the provincial government working with community partners on how and when these beds are best utilized. With the minus temperatures we receive in Quesnel it is an important addition to the services provided at Seasons House through the winter months.” Each community decides what weather conditions warrant an alert and how many spaces to activate on a given night, depending on the capacity of existing shelters and the estimated need. “We have 10 – 20 in our overflow every night,” MacDonald said, pointing out the “extra” beds are always provided but during the extreme weather months they are funded for them. “Housing and homelessness is a huge issue in our community.” MacDonald also spoke to the centre’s drop-in program which provides showers and laundry services, as well as a food program where they feed “hundreds a month.” “We get in between 40 and 50 for breakfast, and up to 60 for evening snack,” she said, noting those numbers do not include the drops-ins throughout the day for coffee or sandwiches. Throughout the province, the B.C. government is providing up to $1.6 million this winter to make more than 1,100 temporary emergency shelter spaces serving more than 90 communities.

Northern Health seeking healthy nominations
Braving the weather A young girl proudly marches in the Remembrance Day parade.

Northern Health is calling on the public to nominate northerners who are making a difference in the health of their community and the people living in it. The newly launched Community Health Stars program will highlight these exceptional individuals and the impact that they are having in their communities. The first Community Health Star is Myles Mattila, a 15-yearold Prince George resident, who has partnered with mindcheck. ca to promote mental health in youth through delivering school presentations. Mattila, whose hockey teammate and friend suffered from mental illness, was inspired to try to help his friend after finding out that Vancouver Canuck Kevin Bieksa was involved with the website. For more of Mattila’s story, please visit our blog at blog.northernhealth. ca. “Northern Health knows that there are a lot of people across our region, doing a lot of outstanding work to improve their own health and the health of their fellow community members,” Lead, Healthy Community Development, local government, with Northern Health, Sabrina Dosanjh-Gantner said. “They’re doing this amazing
work, on their own time, because they recognize how important health is. We want to shine the light on these people to highlight their amazing community involvement, to spread the importance of personal health and risk management, and to inspire others to support building healthier northern communities.”
Community Health Stars will also include: • Seamus Damstrom, Terrace – The only northerner on the Healthy Living Youth Council, this 15-year-old is helping bring healthier foods into his school canteen. • Wayne Mould, Dawson Creek – At 70 years old, Mould overcame kidney cancer and only one year later he ran a marathon, winning in his age group. One Community Health Star will be selected each month from the list of nominees and will win a Northern Health Fit Kit in addition to being highlighted in their local communities and on the Northern Health Matters blog. An ideal nominee is anyone who is helping to improve the overall health of his or her community. Nominations can be submitted at northernhealth.ca.

get to your destination. “When you’re driving in wet, icy or snowy weather, slow down and increase your following distance so you have time to react to the unexpected,” Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Todd Stone said. “Always check drivebc. ca before heading out so you’re prepared for the road conditions ahead.” “Speeding is the leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C.,” Chief Officer Neil Dubord, Chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee said. “Seven out of 10 speedrelated crashes are related to driving too fast for the road conditions. “That’s why police are out across B.C. looking for drivers travelling too fast
for the conditions.”
Tips: • Consider using your headlights whenever weather is poor and visibility is reduced – not only at night – to help you see ahead and be seen by other drivers. • Ice and snow can hit unexpectedly. Early in the season, make sure your tires are rated for the conditions you may be driving in and check your tire pressure regularly – pressure drops in cold weather and overinflated tires can reduce gripping. • When severe winter conditions arrive, consider alternatives to help you get to work safely – take transit is possible, work from home or adjust your hours of work to avoid rush hour traffic. If you will be
driving, visit drivebc.ca to check road conditions for your entire route and for possible road closures. • In extreme temperatures, keep your gas tank at least half-full to prevent freezing, top up your windshield wiper fluid and pack an emergency kit in your vehicle in case you get stranded or stuck. Clear off any snow that has accumulated on your vehicle so that it doesn’t fall off while driving. “Snowy, icy conditions can seriously reduce visibility on our roads and make it difficult to stop and steer,” ICBC’s director of road safety John Dickinson said. “In poor weather, slow down, increase your following distance to at least four seconds and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination.”

With snow lightly falling as of press time ICBC and police are warning drivers to be prepared for the challenges of driving in the fall and winter and adjust their driving to the road conditions they encounter. Every November, there is an average of 24 crashes resulting in injuries or death due to driving too fast for the conditions in the North Central region. That number nearly doubles to 44 in December as driving conditions worsen. Police and Speed Watch volunteers in northern B.C. are looking for drivers travelling at unsafe speeds now and throughout November. In poor conditions, slow down, increase your following distance and give yourself plenty of time to

aturday Nov. 15 is a big day. Whether you live in the city or Cariboo Regional District eligible voters are granted the opportunity to vote in councillors and mayor (city) or the director in their area (CRD). And let’s not forget School District 28 and the extremely important job of trustee. Everyone who has put their name forth needs to be commended on their courage, dedication and commitment – regardless of their political leanings. These jobs are not easy, nor are they for the faint of heart and yet we have amazing residents willing to put forth their name for the betterment of our community. Do you know how we can thank them? Vote. For the love of all things holy, please vote. We don’t care who you vote for, or why you voted for them – just get out there and do it. Our community is in transition. This is a pivotal time for us. And in accordance with provincial law, the terms have now been extended from three years to four. That’s four years of the same council, mayor, directors and trustees. A huge commitment for those elected and it’s up to us to support their endeavours and the future of our community by showing up at one of three voting stations and marking the box, circle, whatever next to the candidates of your choosing. It’s not just a right, it’s a privilege. And one that should not be taken lightly or discarded. And as an added bonus, if you do take the 10 minutes to vote, you then have the right to bitch about decisions, policies etc. Isn’t democracy grand?

Make every moment count M
y beautiful friend has a stunning antique hourglass on the mantle above her fireplace that I admire whenever I go to her home. She hates it. “I feel like it’s mocking me,” she explained, after I complimented her on it during my last visit. “I already know my time is running out, I don’t need to be constantly reminded.” I was surprised for a couple of reasons. Firstly that she would have something she didn’t like so prominently displayed where it would catch her eye every day. And secondly that at the young age of 38, and in excellent health, she’d even have that reaction. “Why don’t you give it away or sell it?” I asked, more than willing to take the detested piece home with me. “It’s a cherished heirloom and important to Mike,” she said of her husband. “It’s the only thing he has left from his mother’s side of the family.” With that answered, I
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note told her one of the reasons I loved it so much in the hopes she might like it better. “To me it symbolizes change,” I explained. “Once all the sand has trickled down to the bottom and there’s nothing left at the top, I get a charge out of flipping it over and giving it a fresh start.” She looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. “None of us escapes life alive,” I said, butchering one of my dad’s recent quotes. “And none of us know how much time we have. We might as well enjoy every moment the best we can. And if we sometimes fail, we can try again on the next flip.”
real difference. Gazing at an hourglass leaves a further impression on me as well. With the top sand symbolizing the future and the bottom symbolizing the past, concentrating on the middle part where the sand slowly passes through the narrow opening reminds me to live in the moment as much as I can. It’s amazing how often I forget to do that. Since our conversation my friend says she has a new appreciation for that lovely heirloom on her mantle and she’s now turning it over quite frequently. “I’ve been giving myself a lot of new beginnings lately,” she said. “Psychologically it’s just what I needed.” A positive attitude can’t solve all our problems, but it can help us create happier, more fulfilling lives. It can also give us the energy to accomplish our goals, no matter how much time we have left. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist. She can be contacted at LoriWelbourne.com

I’m not always such a Pollyanna. I’ve been thinking about death and my own mortality lately as well. Perhaps that’s a symptom of getting older and attending more funerals than weddings. “Don’t you worry you’ll run out of time and not accomplish your goals?” she asked. “I feel myself regretting all the time I wasted when I was young, and wishing I’d done things differently.” I had to admit that sometimes I do feel like that and I can get stuck in a negative rut just as much as her or anyone else. Those feelings never serve me well and I consciously try to change my outlook to a more positive one. I also thought about her implication that she was no longer young. Almost 10 years her senior, I’ve always thought of her as a kid. But impressions in regard to age are so relative. To a five-year-old I might seem ancient, and to a 95-yearold I could seem like a baby. It’s how we’re feeling ourselves that makes the

Being elected is a serious undertaking
ocial issues being discussed during an election year. Whose responsibility are they? Local government or other levels of government? A councilor made some very good comments during the UBCM – (at least I thought so) which was held in Whistler this past September. I hope he doesn’t mind my using some of his comments. Comments: “We are elected to handle things like roads, water, sewer, land use, policing, fire and garbage. We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or heaven forbid pipelines. Those things dilute our credibility as an organization; we’re becoming a social policy activist group rather than a group of municipal politicians. If you want to do social policy, get your butt elected to the provincial legislature.” Election platform: Our community needs to broaden its range of affordable housing options, including transition housing, quality low-income rentals and seniors housing, this must be an immediate priority for the new council. The present council

GUEST VIEWS just wants to ride the positive mentality. Does that mean those issues are the financial responsibility of local taxpayers? Private individuals, investment companies non-profits and others usually construct these facilities, many times with assistance from CMHC and support of senior governments. Of course any mayor and council or CRD Director needs to be fully aware of issues that involve their residents and taxpayer. It would be far better to work with the agencies responsible in cooperation with appropriate levels of government that are responsible. That is where lobbying comes in to play. Working to ensure the city has a broad range of childcare, youth support services, somehow I thought those issues were with the provincial Ministry of Children and Social Services. Quesnel has many
programs for seniors, children and families, which are affordable, offered through our recreation facilities, programs are available for those with low income, when the new arena is built we will have an indoor track, I can’t wait. If there are other programs needed no doubt discussions will be held. Regardless everything comes back to affordability. The changing face of employment – people tend to work away from where they live, Quesnel is well positioned to take advantage – so the other day I find a video on Yahoo (quesnelinfovideo results) Work Anywhere-Live in Quesnel, I was impressed and from 2012 – would this be a new idea or reinventing the wheel? There is a sign at McLeese Lake saying: “Work Anywhere – Live in Quesnel.” You can’t miss it, has been there for years. Obviously we need to find ways to have our community grow. Developing a comprehensive climate change and environmental plan for the city. Over the years I have seen many studies and plans, be received
and then put on a shelf to collect dust, they do have a cost. Air quality, yes, but any decision on global warming – oops – climate change – should not be the responsibility of local taxpayers. I believe those are provincial and federal responsibilities. I wasn’t there, but heard at the Forum for new candidates the other night, the arena – Multi-Center was again discussed – something about covered breezeways. If true, why is this continually being brought up? A political decision was made based on input received from user groups. Did any of the new candidates attend those public meetings? Infrastructure partnerships are usually 1/3 local, 1/3 provincial and 1/3 federal. Regardless at the end of the day local politicians are the conduit to lobby for funding needed for local infrastructure projects. The responsibility of being elected is a serious undertaking. Mary Glassford is a long-term Quesnel resident, former Cariboo Regional District director and city councilor and president of the Post Secondary Education Council.

The term integrity Editor: I owe an apology to Ron Paull for something I stated in my last letter My Vote’s for Bob – Observer, Nov. 7/14. I’m referring to my excited hope of having the opportunity to vote for a mayoral candidate who has used the word “integrity” in his campaigning, and
I feel he means it and lives by it. Most of us remember Bob Simpson being squeezed out of two provincials parties because, I believe those parties, would not allow him to speek freely. As I saw it, Simpson would not allow other politicians to taint his words (hence, he became an
Independent MLA). To me it’s proof that we would never find Simpson “calling in the big guys” federal MP’s or provincial MLA’s for help in his position as mayor. I am sorry, Ron; I did not mean to imply that you (or anyone else) have no integrity. Ruth McClounie Quesnel

T
he first page of Jeff Norburn’s crime novel Mustang Shuffle explodes with the murder of an innocent practical joker. Murder and mayhem ensues as the pages unfold in this author’s first published work. Norburn, a professional, mild-mannered city executive by day, is a hard-bitten, gritty crime writer by night (or in his spare time, depending on how busy he is.) Mustang Shuffle was actually started about 10 years ago, finished in about a year and languished in Norburn’s home office until recently when he took the book out, dusted it off and decided it was the right time to begin the publishing process. Over the years, Norburn had sporadically
resurrected Mustang Shuffle (the name went through several incarnations), updated and revised parts, happy with other parts until 2008 when he realized it would be almost a complete re-write to update the book to current technological innovations (such as iPods) and locations (some businesses mentioned have gone out of business), so he determined the best plan was to set the novel in that time frame. He made the decision to submit Mustang Shuffle to the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest. Norburn was excited when his book made the quarter-finals. Of the 10,000 entries in five categories, the top 500 (100 from each category) moved on to the quarter finals and Mustang Shuffle was in that five per cent.
Norburn was thrilled, especially as each of the quarter finalist’s books were reviewed by Publishers Weekly and Mustang Shuffle received a resounding endorsement. The crime novel has plots on top of plots, innocent suburban civilians clash with criminals and bodies start piling up. “I’ve always liked multiple story lines,” Norburn admitted. “I started the story with the idea of a stolen car with a body in it and went from there.” Always an avid reader, in particular crime novels, writing his own crime novel was something Norburn had in mind for a long time. “I enjoy writing as a hobby, I like laying out the plot then fleshing out the characters.” And he confessed plots are always rolling
around in head. Is there courses to prepare a person for such a creative style? According to Norburn its important to do your research if you are planning on including specific aspects of crime. For him, one of the foundations of Mustang Shuffle was an embezzlement plot and he wanted to get it right. This is a relatively light-hearted novel with characters the average person ready can relate to. Norburn said he likes to follow the bad guy but not in a warm and fuzzy way. “I like them to be a little stupid and Echo is certainly that,” he said. Characters are a hybrid of many people however, they’re mostly from Norburn’s imagination. There’s lots of swearing by characters you’d expect to swear all the time and over the course of the novel, some of
the characters actually have somewhat of a transformation, but don’t expect a deep, philosophically tome, Norburn wants the reader to be engaged and enjoy the crime spree romp. With Mustang Shuffle well on its way, Norburn has turned his attention to his second crime novel, tentatively titled Triple Barrel, which he hopes to have on the market in 2015. With the independent publishing of his first book, the author is energized in his writing. Although he loves his day job, he also loves writing and finds the exercise provides a freedom which he finds exhilarating. “This time I’m more focused and having gone through the experience of Mustang Shuffle, I have a clearer idea of the path. I understand the pace of the book, where I need to be in the plot to reach its natural end in a timely

fashion,” he said. Always a challenge for self-published authors, marketing Mustang Shuffle pushes Norburn. He has a Facebook page, a blog, twitter and promotion through Amazon and Kindle where his book is available. He encourages those who’ve read and enjoyed his book to post reviews to various sites and plans to be personally promoting his book at the Quensel Farmers’ Christmas Markets Nov. 29, Dec. 6 and 13 at the Arts and Rec Centre, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. through Amazon.ca and the Kindle version; Caryall Books in Quesnel and Books and Company in Prince George; as well as from the author. Best described as light-hearted mayhem, Mustang Shuffle is a fun read and would make a great Christmas gift.

Local youth receives Medal of Bravery
On Nov. 5, Haiden Watson was presented with the Medal of Bravery by B.C. Ambulance Service and Air Cadets. Watson is an Aboriginal Grade 11 student at CSS who participated in the local Cadet First Aid program. Watson’s dad (Brian) was in a bike accident that left him unconscious and unable to breathe. Because of the training Watson received, he was able to stay calm, keep everyone around him calm, take over the emergency situation until the ambulance arrived, revive his dad and supported his family with maturity beyond his years. He was so focused that he took away his mother’s keys when Brian was loaded into the ambulance and would not allow her to drive until he felt she was safe enough to do so. The family notified the cadet leaders of Watson’s bravery and commended them on their First Aid training program. They in turn were so impressed with Watson’s ability to use what he learned, they recommended he be recognized for his bravery.

nce again the goal lights put in overtime as Blue Collar keeps on rolling with a 7-3 defeat of Fraser River as Bear and Serenity play hot potatoe with the lead in Steve Dodge Bears 7-5 win. PAPERBACK WRITER With more rifles in their arsenal than Elmer Fudd ever had, BCS wore down Fraser River to surge to their sixth straight victory, 7-3. The score was actually pretty tight for the most part as Bruce Foghorn Leghorn Broughton scored his third and fourth of the season with dangles of the Tarasenko variety. Stretching the lead were a pair of fleet-footed rascally rabbits as Ian Roadrunner Hannah and Justin Speedy Gonzalez Rasmussen both scored a pair to put the game out of reach. Sporting the facial hair and erratic behaviour of his hero, Mark Blacque Jacque Shellacque Courtney continued his sparkling season with a pair of assists to give him eight this season which is double the point total he had all of last year. With the loss, Fraser River drops into third, but their Captain Kevin Sylvester Hesslegrave continues his sufferin’ succotash season as his two markers and one helper gives him 14 goals and 10 assists and a three point lead atop the scoring race. The other contest also featured a goal scoring frenzy as Bear and Serenity swapped the lead more often than a politician’s platform before Bear topped the ballot for a 7-5 victory. Incumbent scoring stars for Bear were Lee Nitro Naeth with two goals and one assist as Randy Killer Crofts earned two assists to go with his jaw dropping laser from a sharp angle shot. However, a newcomer to the goal of the morning movement which gave Bear the lead that they didn’t relinquish was Brian Incredible Inwood who received a gift at centre ice, gingerly proceeded on a breakaway, before sniping a five hole shot with three minutes remaining. Icing the contest also on a breakaway was Kieran Quicksilver Langen who continues to impress in his rookie year. Despite being on a now six-game losing skid, the Builder Boys are still playing hard and they opened up the scoring on Grant Plants Johannesen’s first since retirement as he unleashed a roof daddy rocket that singed the Bear fur to go with a pair of assists. Also having a grand game was Billy Joel Marsh who scored on a pair of identical twins and assisted on George Popeye Pauls second of the season. Steve Dodge is a defensive winger with Bear Communications and an Observer contributor.

Win some, lose some WHITNEY GRIFFITHS Observer Reporter The Quesnel Kangaroos win some and lose some in their weekend of hockey on home ice, Nov. 8 – 9. The ‘Roos first faced-off against the Lac La Hache Tomahawks. The visiting team took the lead, with Tomahawks Walter Schmidt netting the first goal of the night. The ‘Roos quickly fired back with ‘Roo Coltin De Frais skating in for a goal, assisted by Harley Gilks and Justin Fulton. However, the Tomahawks seemed determined to keep the upper-hand scoring a second goal of the night and ending the first period with a score of 2-1. The teams skated onto the ice for the start of the second period, already in the lead the Tomahawks manoeuvered their way passed the ‘Roos to score yet another goal. The ‘Roos retaliated with Alessio Tomassetti, assisted by De Fraise and Gilks, skating by for the second goal of the night for the home team. Following this, De Frais then scored his second goal of the night on a power play, assisted by Shane Mainprize. The home team kept the Tomahawks at bay, refusing to let the visiting team get another puck into the net. The buzzer sounded bringing the second period to a close with a score of 3-3. In the third period the ‘Roos slipped, unable to get the puck by the visiting goalie and the Tomahawks quickly skated in for the win, netting another three goals before the period ended. The Tomahawks returned home victorious with a 6-3 win over the ‘Roos. The next day pitted the Quesnel Kangaroos against the Prince Rupert Rampage. The Quesnel boys quickly took the lead, scoring two goals only one minute and 34 seconds into the first period. The first goal was scored by Justin Fulton, assisted by ‘Roos Tomassetti and Curtis Gassoff, followed by a goal from Josh
McDonald, with the help of Mitch Galbraith and Ryan Hanes. The Rampage needed their first goal of the night, but this victory would be short lived when the ‘Roos matched the visiting teams goal with two more of their own. Fulton, again with the help of Gassoff and Tomassetti, netted his second goal of the night. Trio McDonald, Galbraith and Hanes skated in for another goal for the ‘Roos. The Rampage fired back against the ‘Roos, scoring two goals before the end of the first period. The ‘Roos still held the lead with a score of 4-3 as they skated in for the second period. Only 33 seconds in Tomassetti, assisted by Fulton and Gassoff, netted another goal for the home team. The Rampage seemed determined not to fall to far behind, matching the ‘Roos goal with one of their own. Still maintaining a one-goal lead the ‘Roos soon left the Rampage struggling and failing to keep up. It was goal after goal after goal for the ‘Roos, first by Hanes assisted by Cam Kilbreath. McDonald assisted by Nick Tomassetti outmaneuvered the visiting team netting yet another goal and the ‘Roos final goal of the second period went to Alessio Tomassetti, assisted by Fulton and Gassoff. The Rampage managed to get in one final goal before the second period ended but were three goals behind as they skated in for the third and final period. The visiting team managed to skate by the ‘Roos for the first goal of the final period. However, the ‘Roos maintained their strong lead as Fulton, assisted by McDonald and Gassoff, skated by the opposing players for another goal. The game ended with a final score of 9-6 in favour of the Quesnel Kangaroos. The ‘Roos are on the ice and ready for the competition this weekend at home. Come out and cheer on the ‘Roos as they take on the Kitimat Ice Demons Nov.15, 7:30 p.m.
The ’Roos played backto-back games on home ice against the Lac La Hache Tomahawks and the Prince Rupert Rampage , Nov. 8 – 9. Tomahawk Brad Crump plays keep away with the puck, closely followed by ’Roo Ashton Rai.

The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload.

Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the world’s fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.

tions provided in the kit. HID stands for High intensity discharge which refers to a new technology that relies on an electrical charge to light the xenon gas contained in a sealed bulb. Unlike the halogen bulb, the HID bulb does not have a filament, because there is no filament the bulbs are not susceptible to vehicle vibration damaged. There are however effected by and fluctuations in the vehicles electrical system and depending on the vehicle they may require some resistors. The HID bulb creates light by bridging an arc between two electrodes, instead of heating a filament. This light is similar to the energy transfer when lightning strikes. The arc stimulates the xenon gases producing bright white beam of light. The next wave of off-road lighting technology is LED. Rigid is a leader in this technology.

With the nights getting longer and the dark grey days ahead, anybody venturing out to do a little four wheeling will tell you good off-road lighting is a must. Make sure you only operate them off-road. Good quality by Ian Harwood wiring of a set of off-road lights is important when installing them on your truck, SUV or 4x4. Simply running a power and ground may work but is not the correct way to wire them. Most off-road lights draw a lot of power when switching them on, and this load should never be applied directly to the switch. Using a relay for the switching duties will save your switch and lights as well as make for a safer installation. Relays are easy to install and some lights come with them, but if not, you can pick up a relay from your local auto parts store. Install a switch in the cab of your truck in a location that is convenient for you to reach, or tap into the high-beam circuit of the headlights to power the relay. Mount the relay inside the cab, under the dash or other location out of the way and out of the elements. Run a wire from the battery or other positive source to the switch. This is the positive feed to switch the relay on. You will also need to run a ground wire to the switch from the frame or other ground then run a positive feed wire from the battery to the positive in position on the relay. There will be four connectors on the relay, a positive, a negative, a positive out and a positive in from the battery. Read the packaging or directions to determine which is which. Find the ground position on the relay and run a wire from it to a good ground on the chassis of the vehicle. Anywhere on the frame or other metal structure of the vehicle will normally produce a decent ground. Run a section of wire from the switch output to the switched power input on the relay. Again, this will be marked or identified on the directions that came with your relay. Run the last wire from the relay positive out position to the lights and connect it to the positive feed on the lights. Ground the lights by attaching the black or ground wire to the frame or other ground on the truck. HID lights have become more popular with off-roaders these days. Installation is a little more work. But the principles remain the same. Be sure to follow the instruc-
