Make your own template based on a friend's truck that has the lights, or use a dealer truck with the lights. Then apply the template to your roof, drill the holes, lower the headliner, run / connect the wires, and score the roof lights for the $178 parts price. However, I do not know if the trucks have the wiring harness for the lights already in the roof?

Any off-road shop or truck accessories place should be able to install fairly cheap. I have had them all out on mine except for the one I just purchased. I was paying $250-300 for the lights and installation.

I would do them for $800. The tricky part is getting enough headliner down far enough to attach the screws which come through from underneath. The rest is easy. First one 3 hours tops. Next one 1.5 hours start to finish. Pretty good money.

The headliner on the 2016 generation of trucks was simple, especially a crew cab. Just be cautious of airbags in the front a-pillars and in the ceiling. Also, be sure not to bend the headliner more than necessary. You can easily put a permanent crease in the liner.

Thanks for the warning, although I won't be doing them. But the principle is still there for a decent system. The nearly $200 for the OEM seems high. The $650 (?) for the OEM system seems a little rich as well especially to have extra lights protruding around the cowling.
