Rear marker lights

I'm not sure of the proper name, but I like the red rear marker running lights that are on the F350 dually trucks. I have a 2002 F350 single wheel 7.3 and have the factory pattern for this type of light. Just wondering is this a hard install or should I have the dealer do it?

Thanks

its a piece of cake i just did it a few days ago. give me a few minutes and i will post the site i got my lights from. they have a 16" bolt center(matches the factory holes perfect) i just grounded the one wire and taped the other into the trailer plug park lights.you do have to drill a hole for the wires to go through

here you go:

Yea, it's pretty easy to install the red cluster on the back of the truck. I'm assuming you found the holes right under the tailgate where you can mount the lights. I got my cluster from the local farm and fleet store, they bolted right on, and like wlihntr did, I just tapped into the wiring harness under the back for the trailer, and presto, you're a big rig!

Yea I made my own light bar with 3 clear lens, red 12 diode Maximma LED's and they are BRIGHT! Definitely can't miss 'em, plus I already had LED's in the front and couldn't stand to slap regular bulbs on the back.

I used the clear len Maximma in amber on my running board. With the lights off you can't even tell they are there.

You can also get it at wal-mart, $7.95. I painted mine black to hide it underneath. Quick and easy. Just switched it out to the "Line of Fire"
