Cab light Pics PLEASE
#16
LOL at the chevy with 10 cab lights. A bit of overkill !
Bucks77, now that you mention it, the evenly spaced lights don't look bad at all.
I liked seeing the big trucks (like those in Ice Road Truckers) coming at me at night time, so I 'stole' their pattern when I fitted mine.
Brian, my middle 3 lights are set in line, but in front of the outer 2, in order to follow the curve, but ranger429's lined up look neat.
I think the prospective fitter should set them on the cab in as many ways as need be until he likes the look of them, then mark and fit. (Limited to less than 10 though. LOL)

Mine are on per OE specs. I got my mounting specs from another guy who already had factory lights.

call me a redneck, but i think a truck looks unfinished without them. i also like the taller ones with CHROME, not just the short all orange ones.
mine are spaced 1 3 1 and follow the line of the roof front.
(sorry, rebuilding my computer, so pics are in my album)

My Cab lights
I got my bacon... I mean my el cheapo cab lights from EL M See. I have not installed them yet because of the endless rain and cold weather we've had aroud here. I'm not really impressed with the quality - they are the ones with the amber lense and gray plastic base. I would have like the chrome base but I thought those stuck up a bit higher and I see them more on older models. I'll probably do the 1-3-1 pattern and I'll put in lighted toggle switch on my dash. The wiring harness that comes in the kit is well... a joke but I knew that already. I plan to run my own wires, solder the connections, heat shrink, POR-15 under the roof, insulate, replace the headliner and install the Chrome headliner trim I scored off ebay...
Here are some close ups for those interested...
The bottom side has a small groove for what I assume to be the ground wire. I will not ground to the screw but rather run another wire for that purpose and only drill a small hole large enough for the wires, add a grommet and fill with some silicone. When the bulb needs to be serviced I will need to unscrew light from cab. The screws that came with the kit are cheap too and I will replace with some 316SS.
The foam gasket is well, cheap too. I would have preferred something that would be more rubber like and that the housing lip would sit down on (rather than tucked in underneath) but, I'll just run with this for now.
Oh did I mention they didn't cost too much?
