I bought a set of Recon smoked cab lenses a few weeks back on ebay for around $35, these look identical and a part number that's listed is the same as the Recon part number that I have. Might be Recon made under a secondary brand. Hope this helps.

I was looking at the same lights.My truck dont have cab lights on it yet.I am looking at buying them and seen the same ones.I was wondering how hard it would be to install them on the cab and wire them up.Also what I was thinking is the Halo type lights they got on there in the smoke too.But was wondering how much work it is to installing them.Anyone with any input I would greatly appreciate it.I dont mind wiring and doing the work but like to get an idea how hard it might be before hand so I can plan a day or two on doing it.
Thanks.

I found them on ebay I can go and get the link there. They look cool I just put some on my step-sons chevy truck and they was real easy on it. But got to looking at the Ford It might be little more complicated I dont know.

I was thinking about adding cab lights too, but was also concerned about wiring them.
Does anyone know if the super duty's come equipped with a wiring harness, or do you have to purchase one with the lights?

forgot to add that they came with a wireing harness 2 it was easy to wire in just spliced in to the over head light harness in the passenger foot kick panel. the hardest part was linging them up and trying to figure out were to drill the holes in the hood

Of note might be that Recon supplies the lens kits with amber bulbs to replace the standard bulbs. They seem to last pretty long too, mine are on often for nearly 50k miles so far.
