"Spread the love". But IMO, reps are earned and 2100 earned it... no participation trophies here!

I was looking thru some pics of my truck to see if I could find anything helpful since I know my cab lights are factory...nothing really useful 'cept confirmation that the 3-in-the-middle configuration appears to be how Ford did it. They're not far off, but the outboard lights are, in fact, further out than the middle three are to each other.


It's hard to even see because part of the backhoe boom looks like an extra light...can you believe that they all WORK? Even w no lenses for Who knows how long?
thanks guys, I appreciate it. Just trying to give back to an awesome community which has already helped me too many times to count! I'm still learning but hope to be a "guru" down the road.

I measured from the front of my lights since they are tear drop shaped (i measured from the widest points to be consistent) *Note* these measurements are not from the screw holes since I figured yours might be different. They are from light edge to light edge. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions or need some more pictures.
Thanks for the diagram-that helps a lot!

I checked for an SAE spec for clearance lights, and it says "no less than 6" and not more than 12", which wasn't a lot of help!

I didn't get to it today, as I was working on some plumbing issues, but I hope to do this tomorrow.

Thanks, everybody for the great info, especially Dads77 - those are great links!
