if you're in factory lights i can get you a complete used set, 5 lights, wiring harness, screws. you will need a hole saw for a drill to punch 5 holes in your roof and then the wiring harness needs to be snaked down the post by the windshield and spliced into your parking light circuit.

go to the junkyard, pull every thing you need from a truck out there, and you will be able to plug it all into your truck when you get it in. Much cheaper than buying new, and if you want new lenses, they come cheaper than the whole assembly

When I installed mine, I went to the junkyard with a piece of newspaper and made a template from the stock holes in the donor truck. Then, I measured how far back from the windshield trim the two outer lights and the middle light were. It wasn't hard once I started the project.

I just bought a Pacer kit on Ebay for 45$ including shipping. I installed them today. Spacing was 3 1/4" back from the trim, 1 foot center to center between lights. They look great!
