Before I ordered my 2000 F350 I was hesitant about cab lights. Someone talked me into them and I loved'em. When I ordered my 2006 replacement truck, there was no hesitation. I think they make for a great look at night.
And, by the way, I do know how tall my truck is. I have enough problems with parking garages and you HAVE to know how tall these beasts are.

I love mine. I'll never have another truck without them.
Beyond the 'looking cool' factor (especially with the matching LED running lights in the integrated mirror turn signal )
They make you so much more visible at night and in traffic.

Love 'em!
They just make it look so much meaner when you just have the markers and the fogs on at dusk. I've had buddies tell me that were coming from the other direction, "That thing just looks evil!"

I'm relatively new to the big truck thing. I went from a Honda Civic to a 2006 F350 SC PSD Lariat DRW on December 21, 2005. I love it. But back to the subject of this thread. I love my roof clearance lights, I agree with everyone that they look awesome all lit up, but I am curious what there "real" purpose is? What is their function supposed to be? Thanks everyone.

They are required on vehicles over 80" wide. They are to mark the fartest outside portion of the cab that they can be mounted. That's all.
DRW's have to have them, everything else is just cool lookin'.

I like lights, period. Some think I am silly, but I don't wan't my SD to look like all the others. I like the fact people I know can see from a distance that it's me. There isn't another truck like mine anywhere around. I though have a need for lots of lights since I use my truck as a race track safety vehicle. Lot's of flashing lights gets you seen when cars are closing on you at 170 mph. Cab lights just add to the visual package. Besides, to some they look cool.
Some like lifts, some like big tires, some like booming sound systems, I like lights. I say make your truck yours. If you don't like cab lights great! To each his own.

One benefit is oncoming traffic can see you sooner when your on a "roller coaster" type two lane road. The 177 from the 10 to Vidal Junction in California is a road we use 10 or 12 times each summer and the oncoming traffic will see cab lights first as we crest a hill. I don't need people coming the other direction passing in my lane.
