Cab light Pics PLEASE

I've always been a fan of cab lights. I'm thinking about getting a set of five for my truck.
But.... I dont wanna drill all the holes in my cab and decide that I don't like it.

So, can i get picture of trucks with em? Thanks in advance guys!

Looking at the lights, I wonder if It would look better if all the lights were spaced evenly.

I think they make the truck look more aggressive:

I agree. I was gonna add some to my 77, but just couldn't get myself to drill the holes.

It's not that hard to drill the holes. I added them to the F-350 supercab build.

Well I am not a fan of cab lights. See no reason for them. I once drove in a snow storm with cab lights and it lit the snow up in front of the windshied. I pulled over and disconected them so I could see to drive. Just like sunroofs, why cut a hole in a perfectly good roof??

I happen to like them and because it is my roof I can. If everybody had the same taste the world would be very plain.

Here is mine, I really like them. I think they make my white/orange truck look better.

ok, so on the track of cab lights; what is the preferred mounting pattern? Two out, three in / evenly spaced / other? Do you have them straight across the roof or do you try to follow the curve of the front?

There is a newer chevy in town that has like 10 lights across the roof. No idea what the logic was there, but it looks pretty retarded.

Here's mine. I agree, they make a truck look more aggressive. My Dad's 03 Powerstroke doesn't have cab lights and I hate the look.

I always see 5 with 2 out and 3 in on Fords and 7 evenly spaced on Dodge and 5 evenly spaced on Chevy. Not saying that is the way it is supposed to be but that is what I always see.
