This tells you pretty much all you need to know:
F250 Factory Clearance Light install
And here are some comments I made after I installed mine.

My dimensions are very close to what bpounds posted.
When I did my wife's truck, I obtained the lights from a F-450 at a salvage yard. Once the lights were removed, I laid a piece of pattern paper on the cab and traced the location of the holes. I think the aftermarket lights work with a 7/8" dia hole but the OEM lights that I had did not....I had to enlarge the hole a little bit to get them to fit. I think I ended up with 1 1/8" or something like that...
Here is the pattern file I made.

thanks for the great diagram!!
thanks for all the help guys.... would a unibit very carefully be to much? when you say a greenlee punch i think of a elec box knockout tool?

Lots of guys use a uni-bit. Others use holesaws. All work fine. Yes, a Greenlee is a knockout punch. They are a bit pricey, but you can rent them.

2000 f250 cab lights
Has anyone ever evenly spaced cab lights on a 2000 to 2016 super duty f250 or f350? all I've seen is the 3 middle ones evenly spaced and the 2 side ones are spaced different but I want to make them even.

probably should have just started your own thread.
Technically you can space them however you want. Just measure it and figure it out.
the way they are normally setup has been the standard since the beginning of time. there is most likely reason for it. Although I noticed Dodge has used equalish spacing IIRC. everything else uses the national standard

Wow, 10 year old thread, and all the links still work.
You have everything you need in this thread to figure out equal spacing. The outer holes will still be in the OEM location, and the center hole will be also, you'll just move the last two outward slightly. The math is so simple that I feel I would be insulting you if I did it for you.
