lights

If you're blinding yourself or others, you either have too many and/ or too much output. And if you're actually using lights to run at night then there's a point where too much illumination ( whether rock lights underneath or external front/ rear facing) can cause perception issues where shadows and highlights become diminished to the point of washing out.
Other negative factors can be power draw ( although with LED draw that's not normally cause for concern), added mess/ tangling of having wires running everywhere, potential shorts, and increasing weight up high... obv not simply from the lights themselves but from the housings, wiring, hardware, etc.
If it looks good/ legit and you like it and aren't blinding anyone, then go for it. Personally though, I like to keep things minimized and streamlined as possible.

If it's a scale build I think keeping it realistic is important.
1. What lights do the full size offroad rigs you're trying to replicate run?
2. Once that problem is solved, what lights does your truck need for your typical running conditions?
I'd keep adding lights until you're satisfied with both of those criteria. Then don't add anymore!

sweet thank you
34 sounds like alot. and it is. lol but...
I erred and see I only have 26 lights on it.
All in total use, is hardly any at any given time.
The AXE rig has
Hi and Low beam headlights. 4
Running lights and turn signal lights. 8
Brake, rear, and reverse lights. 6
Beater Bar lights 4
Rock Lights 4
I could put 4 more lights on for running/turn lights on the side or the rig, just never did it yet, which would put it at 30.
