They are aftermarket. The OE requires a square hole to be punched thru and that is very difficult to do in a finished truck. I know one guy on here IIRC did it with a Dremel and used the OE, but no really needed as after market just uses a round hole and has the plug in connection to the Ford wiring harness...
Thanks,
Jeremy

Since I was not looking for anything other than an OEM look with Amber lights I did not care much. I know Recon makes several flavors of lights if that is what your looking for.
The real challenge was in getting it done. One dealer quoted me $600 plus the cost of the lights about $200, another dealer wanted $430 incl lights but did not install on 2017 saying they would leak water if it rained (to which I replied they leak because they were not properly installed!).
Go for it. Just the other night I cam out of a place and it was now night time, I came a door and side of building I had not gone in. Raise arm, hit the unlock button and look for the cab lights. As it was, did not see them, so walking around huge building till I did...and that is why I have the lights.

I called 17 oaks install place in Farmer Branch place and he quoted me 600.00. I told him about another guy getting them for about 430.00..he said to match the 2017 look have to go with the “newer” set from recon to get the factory look. I can still get 17oaks lights for the 430.00.
200.00 more....I don’t know.

Wow, pricey when compared to the $95 it cost to order them if you order a truck.
Oddly enough, I see very few SD with clearance lights. Non of the 2017's I looked at in San Diego area had them, not one. Not the only factor but one of many reasons as to why I ordered a 2018.

The roof lights were the ONLY thing I really wanted aside from led headlights. I wish I could find someone I trusted to do it around the Charlotte, NC area. Anybody have someone they could recommend?

interesting as at no time was I ever quoted anything but $430 + tax. Did you ask what they were charging $600 for??? I would like to know. Maybe it was for a different cab light then just an OEM look with Amber lens.
