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??

Re: Cab 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.

Re: Cab Lights
Hole pattern is different, I looked a little bit for something similar but came up dry.

Re: Cab Lights
Dieselsj...on the factory lights the screw holes are on the sides..the leds screw holes are front and back..there is a center hole that the wires go thru so all I did was drill new holes for the screws..

Re: Cab Lights
Thanks. So they covered the existing holes with no issues?

Re: Cab Lights
Dieselsj...I had to go pull one of the leds off to look..I couldn't remember what I did...I welded up the old screw holes on mine as I was fixin to paint it anyway..I ran my finger in the wire hole to feel where i welded them up and I don't think it would cover the old factory screw holes..
