Side Cab Marker lights/big rig lights

Hey guys about to put on my Cab marker lights on my truck. I am thinking 3 led lights would look best with one centered between the driver and passenger door and the other two on the right sides of the doors evenly spaced. Any pictures of 4 lights mounted or should I stick with 3 for a better look?

I'm a fan of the 3 myself. I used the 3 support bars for my steps. Mounted them to the plastic cladding

Tylus, Yes I got the idea off your truck when you listed this thread. Great looking rig you got. You have the link for were you got those lights? If not its cool I found 6 leds from my local Academy store I may buy tomorrow. They are about $6 a light.

no idea about the lights. Found 6 of them on eBay for $20 shipped from a random seller. They're the same color as my mirror marker lights so I was pretty happy with that purchase

i did 3 lights per side from advanced auto. and i can take the orange cover off and replace the bulb with a 194 if one burns out, and self grounding so they were a big win for $3 each. love how they look

Looking forward to doing it myself, it’s a different and unique idea. I also added the 3 Led marker light under the Tailgate you posted about the same time these 3 side marker lights were posted and I have been pretty happy with how it looks. My brother just got a new Super duty and wanted some advice on fixing it up and I told him it’s all about the details. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

original owner pulled the factory emblem off, so no fading. I just cleaned the area very well and it was good to go

I bought a OEM sticker on eBay for $20 shipped. It came with a tailgate sticker as well

I'll play. I just put some on my truck 2 weeks ago. I'm aweful proud of em.




I bolted mine to the plastic facia of the nerf bars. If I had it to do over again, I would do 4 and mount them under the doors.
