i put a set of aftermarket cab lights on my 87 f150 but it had the aftermarket cab visor on it so i mounted to it i can help with basics this is what i did but it may not work for you if your mounting to roof of cab i measured the distance from where i wanted the 2 lights on the ends oposite each other then split the diffrence cut measurement in half thats where i put center light then did the same for center light and end lights to mount the other 2 lights i drilled hole through roof for hot wire as the lights on cab will or should ground themselves not sure what lights you have connect all hot wires and i ran wire to light switchfound the parklight wire with test light and hooked them up just becarefull not to short out wiring fuse should protect it but you never know you may want to hook up a toggle switch with in line fuse your gonna have to take out the roof liner and drill holes through your roof i do not envey you use silicone on all holes
