Re: Cab Lights

I replaced my factory lights with low profile smoked leds..the spacing on mine is 3 in the center and 1 on each outside ..1 light in center of cab and 6" to center of the light on either side..the outside 2 lights from the center light is 24" to the center of the outside 2 lights..only need a small drill bit for screws and a 1/4"-5/16" drill for the wires..i just used my cordless drill to drill the new holes...the wires run between the 2 cab roofs down the driver side pillar..

Re: Cab Lights

Wednesday,I put a Lund visor on mine.
The factory light locations fit O.K.
The visor is a pos!
So,if you plan on a visor it's a good idea to use the factory location for the lights!
Now,I need to get the leds!
Already have them on the sides and rear lights.
Mongocanfly,do you have a source/part number for the ones you used?
Mike.

Re: Cab Lights

We just had a thread similar to this, did you happen to see it? Add Cab/Clearance Lights??

Did you replace the factory ones with those? I'd like to find something similar to those that would be a direct swap without drilling any new holes.
