Do a search for clearance lights. There is post that has photos of an install. I believe that the spacing was

!--12"--!--8"--!--8"--!--12"--!, but double check.

I figured it was. It's an FTE classic like the Explorer/Ranger Blend Door fix and Earl's World in the 48-60 fourm. I keep it set as a favorite until I do mine.

One thing to keep in mind, and there is a current thread on this very subject, is that by adding the cab marker lights, you may prevent yourself from getting into your garage or at the very least, covered parking garages. This is the main reason that I haven't done mine yet.

Good luck with the project.

Thats a good point about parking garages. I haven't thought about that. I went into the Fleetcenter in Boston the other night. The clearance was 6'8". My radio antenna was whacking the sign as well as all of the pipes. Another inch or 2 will keep me out.

If you screw it up it can be fixed. Go for it. Let the old man know you appreciated the gift.

I've done the install on both of my F250's. Best tip is to check and recheck before you drill. Good luck. You'll love the way they look.
