What's wrong? Fingers have a little arthritis from counting all your benjamins?

I don't know if that's a humorous burn or a depressing self reality check...

On subject, I've wanted to do smoked cab lights for a while now, however I don't think they'd work too well with white and tan. Perhaps if I can find a crystal lense and wire up some cool blue LED's....

 

recon has the crystal ...

 

Well gee thanks. Devil's advocate. Looks like my weekend got interesting.

 

Take your time. Once you drill them holes, you're committed.

 

Go "advanced" when you edit and you can change the thread title.

They would look awesome on your Ex.

BTW, just FYI for anyone contemplating this mod, I have Motomans how-to listed in the tech folder.

Thanks Stewart - learn something new everyday. Thread title changed.

 

I hate to ask, but I love these and really think it sets the truck apart from other "soccer mom" SUVs. That being said do you think it would look totally out of place or goofy on my 2wd?

 

A little bit, just because they're associated with a big truck. Not that yours isn't big, but it's not 4x4 big if that makes sense.

Having said that, I think if you could do a low-profile setup with smoked lenses it would look damn good on your rig. I just think the stock bubble top lenses would be a bit out of place.

 

Could you snap a few pics so we can see the entire truck? Thanks.

 

2wd and 4wd look the same, so why not!

 

Is ford doing the three center lights closer together from the factory now?

I always associated the three middle lights being closer together with chevies (how they always done it).

When I think of ford cab lights I think of evenly spaced lights.

 

Everything I've seen runs the three centers close together. 1999-current.

 

I just followed the instructions....but all the superduty fords I have seen have the three center lights closer together than the two outer.

Center / 8 1/4" for the three middle and center/ 20 1/2" for the outer. All. 3 1/2" from the edge of the windshield trim.

 

Here is one from last night's grocery getting expedition...

 

I did mine about 6 years ago. Have been working great. How did you wire them up? I bought the clearance light only harness and ziptied it to the existing roof console harness.

On the distance apart question. The 3 in the middle close together signify a load wider than 6 feet I think? The end ones show the corner of the wider than average load. It's been this way for a very long time! It is a NHTSA regulation. That's why all dually's have them!
