   Roundhouse nailed it.
  Those are the Military blackout lights.
  When turned on they give out just enough light that other trucks in a convoy can see you and hopefully the enemy doesn't.
  When you hit 1 switch on the dash all of the civilian "service" lights ( headlights, tailights, brake lights, directionals, etc) and the horn are disabled.
  Turn the blackout lights on and your good to go.

Oh I get it. That's cool. So you flip the "service lights" toggle down to "blackout on" then you flip the "blackout drive light" toggle to on and then charge forward and bulldoze the enemy!! Haha.

Mine aren't cheap. If you felt them they have some serious weight to them. I dropped it on my fingers and they were sore for awhile.

that's my point

China isn't famous for their high quality metal products

Pull one from a wrecked GM or Ford or Dodge

Made in the US and tested to be strong enough

True for the most part----except for those shipping containers----they are near indestructible!
