thanks! yeah i like (dont hate me haha) the smoked dodge cab lights from recon... its a vendor that we carry at work, comes with light housing the bulb and a connector for each light to aid in wiring. luckily i have my wiring and soldering kit at work so maybe here when it slows down for the winter ill have to pull my truck in and see what damage i can do haha

no did you silicone around the hole where you put your grommet for the wires to come through and under the light housing and screw holes? i am assuming that you did

I am not familiar with those dodge lights but I say use what you like the best.
The ones I bought came the same way, light/lens, gasket, pigtail and bulb.

Yea I basically put a bead of silicone going around all 3 holes to seal the included foam gasket to the cab.

Those are pretty cool looking actually. I wonder how they will look on our cab style since it doesn't have as much curve as the dodge.

That sounds like good old fashioned product testing to me! Best install a set just to make sure they work as good as they look

hey looking good there warozz!
my last truck didn't have the cab lights,and i added them to it as well.
these trucks look so much better with 'em.
nice job!

coalroller,that's so cool your trying this,because iv been debating which to use,the latter fords or the dodge ones.the latter ford ones are too tall i think seems to be the problem.
i don't understand why they don't make 'em for our trucks dangit!
i can't wait to see it.

I bought my truck with cab lights on it. I think the truck looks better with cab lights. I want to put a set on our '00 PSD. I have yet to have an orange glow/haze issue during heavy snow storms or rain storms.

Looks great man!
