Cab Clearance lights.

I've seen alot of other kid's trucks that have the factory cab clearance lights on their F150's.I've never heard of it,and I doubt I could do it since I have an F100,but i'll ask anyway.Could I add cab clearance lights to my truck?I think it would look cool,if it's even possible.

There is a plug located at the driver side kick panel, below the dash. Remove the panel and this is where the plug is located. Brown wire.

Yes, all of them do.


The Roof marker lamps will interchange:

1980-1983 F-100
1980-1996 F-150/F-350
1997 F-250HD/F-350
1980-1999 F-600/F-900

So there shouldn't be a limit on finding a good set.

Edit: The gaskets are now avaliable for the roof housing. My books are out of date.

That's great to know.I think a night pic with all the lights on would be cool.Next time I go out to the junkyard i'll try and find a truck with decent lights and harness.Thanks ya'll.

I got a set from the j-yard last summer, just never got around to installing them. Hopefully this year I'll find the time.

I will.I went out today and found the plug for them in my truck.I'm pretty excited bout it cause I LOVE cab lights.

I have a question about the wiring harness for it.Does it just run down the a pillar behind the trim?

You can get factory looking lights from Pepboys and LMC Truck. I got mine from pepboys from a catalog behind their parts desk. I also got some lights shining onto my tires, amber front / red rear.
