LUND or Keystone Restyling(who bought lund out) would be the ONLY place to get parts.

As for the wiring end of it, just run the wires to the headlight switch or down the passenger A pillar to the factory cab light harness

I used the brown wire coming out of the back of the headlight switch.
-a lot of wires-
And you can get the lenses off eBay from time to time.

I'm not sure what your asking exactly.
If you wire the power wire to the solid brown wire in the back of the headlight switch they will go on and off with the parking lights.

Well, what year is your truck? Because in the late 90's the plug for the cab lights is under the glove box and usually the Lund light wires aren't long enough to make it there. You could extend them I suppose.
And can lights are parking lights (exterior lamps)

87 f150. ya the peson only left a few inches of wire so they will have to be extended anyway. o so parking lights are just your regular lights just never heard anybody call them parking lights.

Haha. I guess that's a Maine thing.
87' huh? In that case Im not sure if the wire colors will correspond to your truck. You may want to wait for someone more familiar with that year and wire colors for your exterior lamps. Lol
