They might not be the exact ones but they are close. Besides they still look really nice and they aren't those chrome clear lights with the led's on the inside. I said OEM style not OEM exact.

OEM are actually ford ones. OE are Ford look a likes and then yours are just aftermarket, which dont look like ford ones. Just sayin, thats all

That's awesome. Let me know if you have any questions about install. It was pretty easy. The only thing that would have made it easier is a paper measuring tape, like the ones that tailors use.

Sorry for bringing this one back from the dead.... BUT... I am finally getting around to installing my lights. I got the measurements down for the spacing but wanted to find out more about the wiring. I installed a set of cab lights on my 05 super duty. Is the wiring the same? If I remember correctly, there was a brown wire that I spliced into and a green ground wiring that got screwed into the cab... both behind the passenger kick panel. Please let me know of any differences. THANKS!

I custom wired the lights, I got mine from LMC and it came complete. I have it wired into the parking light circuit at the switch on the dash, I used a relay to draw the power and then ran that through another switch so if 1 light burnt out I could switch it off and it won't look as bad until I can get a chance to swap the bulbs. The lights ground them selves when you screw them to the roof, then it was just one long wire that all the leads spliced into. Then I attached it to the relay and was good to go. It seams like an easier job then trying to find wires and hope that they work, and the added switch is cool too.

Thanks. I appreaciate the help. So your primary light swith stays on all the time and the lights are activated when you pull the headlight switch... and then if you wanted you could run your parking/head lights w/o the cab lights? Making sure I got that straight. Sounds good. I also have construction strobes so I could put my switches in a dual setup.
