You mean the roof clearance lights? I have them on my 79 F350 4wd. They came from the factory like that.

I can draw up measurements for you, excatly like factory.

Template ! What for ?

What I did was run a "string" taunt from front of one driprail moulding across the cab to the other one.
Measure the center of the string, mark that spot with a felt pen.
Decide what distance you want between the others.
Because I like the cluster of the three in the middle ,I went 9"
away either side of the center one,make a mark with a felt pen.
The outside ones were 9" IN from the driprail moulding.
Make a mark and drill the front holes for the lights at the marks.
Drill your wire hole and paint the drilled edge with primer or paint.I also used small grommets.
With the light pointing directly forward,drill the rear holes through the assembly and then screw them in.

That's all.

i dont think the lights are straight across the top of the cab are they? If your cab lights are factory just measure them for me and let me know.
Thanks for the help!!!
