Cab Clearance Lights

I just finished installing the lights on my 02. It wasn't too bad took 3 hours by myself. I got the lights and wiring harness from Ford. My only question is when I finished I noticed that the back of the lights are off the roof just a hair. I put silicone around the bolts and the connector, I am just wondering if that and the factory foam gasket will be enough.

I think you will be fine. I installed the Ford lights with no sealer and have no leaks at all.

Mine are sitting in my garage waiting for me to have the "you know what" to install them. I worry about them leaking.

LED cab lights

I have the LED cab lights that are yellow and look like the Ford units. These are real nice and I have sold many of them. If someone is interested PM me.

I also live in Lox. and want to add the lights to my rig. What dealer did you get them from and how much did they run? It looks awesome by the way
