Default 12 volt setups for bigheads

Any of you guys have a setup just for bigheads? I thought I remembered Slim had one on his boat, but I didn't remember if Dr Rob did or not or Johnny B and Billy. If so, could you post a picture or 2?

Steve, don't have any pictures that i know of. But what I have is. I remove the halgon lights from the brackets and use 12 vt. Car lights like you find at Walmart. Do not remember the stats on them. They are not head light, but small like fog lights. I also use a older car dimmer switch to turn them on and off. Pick one up at a auto part store. I think Mine is a ford about 6 bucks. Of course have them all connected to a heavy marine battery. I run six of them down the side of my boat. They work pretty well. The main advantage is everyone being able to shoot, or if you go out by your self your hands are free. I do think a spot light is better, but some one has to run it so cannot shoot. I do remember it cost me less than 50 to do it all.

I was just curious what you guys used and how you rigged it up Johnny. I have an idea or 2, and with a switch so we can all shoot. I figured it would be better than using a spotlight. I have a couple flood lights that look like car lights. I thought maybe 4 of them around the top of Mark's railing. If we see what we think are bigheads, hit the switch and everybody let loose!
