yep...100% right......just proves that my proof-read before post isn't adequate


You really don't need to remove the headliner first, but I understand the caution completely. The only thing that is somewhat close is the plastic bracketry for the in-cab center light. I might have a hole in it that shouldn't be there.
That's why I say to remove it when wiring. This allows you to wire everything up, and then tuck it out of the way.


really hope this helps some guys out with their decision. It was about a 5 hour install. I'm extremely paranoid...so I measured 3-4 times, got ready to drill...and measured again.


I think the headlight mod is next so the heads match the Recon's

 

I would like to do that mod but...I dont think I would be able to drill holes into my roof. I dont think I could get up enough courage to do it. Other than that I would toally love to do it because it looks awesome.

 

Did you use silicon when you set the light on the roof, or do the lights seal well enough?

 

excellent write up tylus.... i must say, after seeing yours installed and working, i cannot wait to get mine and do the same. im hoping to have them by mid week and install them next weekend. ill post some pics.....


lets get a new trend going !!

as for those worried about leaks, i have installed 2 previous sets on other trucks.... i used RTV and never had any issues.

 

I initially did it without clear silicone that remains flexible...and they do seal up tight against the cab...but I'm a paranoid type of person.

Especially after the Lund Visor on this truck and the 3 yrs of chasing down leaks because the previous owner had 1/2 a**ed the install.



so today I went back and put silicone up all over liberally.
I love influencing people


and now for some daylight pics

 

 

 

btw, I know my doors look like butt right now. I was having some issues with the AVS Vent Shade on the Pass Rear door coming loose. So I pulled all 4 loose with the intentions of new tape...but that crap is hard to remove

 

strangly...or not...I've gotten several requests for the exact lights I used.

here ya go.
