putting cab lights on

I have 03 250 that I would like to put cab lights on. What needs to be done? I konw holes need to be made. But are the wires there allready, even though my truck did not come with them? Were are the wires for the running lights closest to the roof?

it is very simple to do...just time consuming... measure, measure, measure....then drill. just be sure to use bolts with washers and nuts to fasten them, rather than sheet metal screws.... make sure they stay tight. by far it is one of my favorite upgrades... i even converted mine over with double filament bulbs in the outer 2 lights, and wired them into my blinkers as well....

when ya order the lights at the Ford dealer ask for the nuts to . The lights have the fastener built into the housing . The nuts Ford uses have the washers made onto the nut . I don`t know what the correct name is for that style but if you tell them you want the nuts listed in the parts book with the lights you`ll get the correct ones
