Ok so in thinking about the safety factor...I wonder if there are aftermarket lights that would have the option to flash? Say maybe have them hooked up to the flashers or something?

 

Look at atomic LED clearance Lights

Atomic LED Videos

 

I looked at the videos and I am not impressed with those lights...the flashing almost looks like a Christmas tree light. With lights there is always the risk of drunk drivers running into you and I think these lights would not help deter that. They are almost too much.

 

Well Poe-ta-toe, pa-tah-do then. They aren't a requirement. Just an option.

 

What's not to like?

Same as the 3 red light ID bar that goes between the bumper and tailgate.

Both the roof lights and the rear ID bar come with the DRW for that reason.

I personally just like the 'Big Rig' look so that is why I always get them on my SRW! My wife thinks I am nuts.

Believe me, no offense taken or intended. You were looking for conversation and I provided it. Your statement started as a "help me understand" and ended with a strong statement of your dislike. Why exactly would one try to help somebody understand something that they have stated that they don't like?

Yes the last 3 trucks I have owned had the clearance lights, but I have nothing against people that don't have them or don't like them. You won't see the "big rig" lights under the door on my truck, but I'm fine with those that do like them. Personalization is one of the greatest parts of owning one of these trucks!

 

Amen brother. It would be rough if we all rigged are trucks the same.

 

I didn't even think about the aspect of telling people how wide your vehicle is..I don't have anything against people that have them either I was just trying to understand why they are there I guess. Maybe I worded it wrong. I appreciate the answers though.

 

Thats a nice looking truck!

With them being called roof clearance lights I thought how would you know if you have cleared the height requirement until the lights have been knocked off your truck...lol

 

They are too manly for my girl-truck.....

But I like them on others! I always thought they were for height, not width though. Interesting!

 

If you bought your truck for its looks, you probably don't need cab lights. If you bought your truck to work, you might like them more.

 

A better question would be why would you not have them!!!

 

...because the nucklehead that ordered the truck didn't click on that option
the only thing I do like about not having them is it is easier to wash

 

I have them for two reasons, one I think they look "Super Duty" and second for a safety reason that has not been addressed here. We have a country place that we frequent quite often. It has three miles of gravel road after you leave the highway with numerous small hills and curves. You can see trucks with clearance lights coming over these small hills for quite a distance before you see the headlights and the same on some curves. The lights give the approaching drivers a heads up so they can slow down and get ready for the approaching vehicle.
