I saw a kit at Pep Boys today for $24.95 that included 5 lights, wiring and a red lighted toggle switch. I have lights on my truck, but they don't work. The PO said there is a button under the dash to turn them off/on, but I have yet to find it.

I have installed them on a few trucks I prefer to attatch them to the parking light circuit though like they would be fromthe factory installation is easy I always eye ball where they go line up the middle with the center raised part ofthehood and then the 2 outside ones then just center the other two they mountwith 2 screws andyou also need to drill a holeforthe wiretopoke through

I wish mine were attached to the parking light circuit, then they would work like they are supposed to.

I installed mine myself.
They are the Dominion Lights.





I think they look nicer than the factory ones.
I have a thread on here from about 4 years ago that has the instructions on doing the installation.

All you need to hook them up to the harness is the connector.
The wiring can be regular wiring.

Here's the Illustration .

I personally like the ones Mil1ion has but spread out evenly. That's how I like to set them up. How ever you decide to do it, cab lights really look classy on an old Ford. I've seen all kinds of different styles on old Fords and they always seem to look better than without cab lights.

Wiring and installing is a snap BUT the wiring gets run through the drivers door post. Its easy if you use a stiff wire with a small "shepherds hook" and fish it from the top to in front of the access hole above the dimmer switch.

I like to run the cab lights off their own "marker light switch" like in the big rigs, along with any other highway legal auxilaries. But that's just me.
