Cab Lights






I recently saw photos of truck with smoked cab lights, and I thought they looked really good. I looked online for cheap ones but it was hard to find something for OBS. I even read people converting to new cab lights but I did not like the idea of putting more holes in the roof. I found some for OBS on eBay for under 30$ . They came with cab light cover and new wiring for the light. The factory light bulb sockets did not fit the new cab lights so you have to rewiring them with was is provided. Not too much of a hassle, and for thirty bucks I thought it was worth it.

VHT Nightshades is the name of the paint you were looking for .

I have never used it myself but I have seen others use it with some good results.
