Cab Lights

Pulled the trigger and had cab lights installed. OK, I didn't do it myself, just wasn't comfortable punching 15 holes in the roof. Been saving for this and actually had a local dealer do it. $327 out the door. Not bad I figure. Love the look. I know, it didn't happen if there's no pics.!

I want to add some too. But I'm fighting with myself between the $300 for the dealership or the $80 and conquering the fear of drilling into my truck..

It's not too hard, just measure, measure and measure again. I did it after months of debating with myself. Here's my adventure.

Absolutely correct. I did mine also. Measure many, many times. They look good, there really is proof.

If my truck did not already have them from factory I would never put them on, mine were leaking at one point and caused ALL kinds of elec problems from the GEM getting wet.

Just my thoughts, have seen more than one set leak and rust out cab above the windsheild. Also after time lens start looking faded.

Leaks worried me as well. I used a pretty good amount of clear silicone sealer on them and it seems to be holding up well with the snow and rain so far. I recently swapped out my OEM orange lens to Recons and love the smoked look.

It doesn't rain much out here so that wasn't a worry. I just wanted them done right and If there's a problem, the guy in the mirror didn't do it!!!
