Thanks! If i had to do it again i would probably go with 4. When i put them on my running boards were still installed so i had to create an equal gap while dealing with the running board supports. now that i took them off, i would probably space it so i could put 4 on there. 3 doesnt look too bad though

Trey i just ran the wire down the passenger frame rail (easier than driver side because of fuel tank) and tied into the Running Light wire on the 7 pin connector. and for the rear ID bar i just used one of those quick splice things to tap into the wire for my side lights

kd0axs where did you get that id bar i was looking at those in class before and realized they do look alot cooler then the line of fire.

the metal panda did your truck come with the cab lights? My regular cab didnt and i want to get cab lights but am a little iffy about drilling holes in my roof
I mean i bought it used so idk for certain. But to my knowledge it came with em. I see no evidence of any wires being tapped anywhere

Ive got blue rope lights on my running boards.
2 sets of cab lights , one smoked out with blue bulbs then my visor has 5 orange lights in it.

Im going to get rid of the lighted visor its a little much with the cab lights.

The back also has lights everywhere.

The origional owner was a old trucker so hes got it lit up!
