Cab Light Install Here you go the kicker is the last picture on the bottom left.

 

I installed my clearence lights last Sunday. I measured about 100 times and drilled once. Pics in gallery. Its a good idea to make a template. Once you get past the first hole it's a breeze. Best of luck!!

 

thanks guys i may messs with it this weekend i got my lights from cabelas and are the same design as factory look but mount up a lil diffrent

 

i just dont know if i could drill in my roof! much less pull the headliner out

 

Bring it over one sat, and I'll help you do it.

 

Brandon, if I'm ever in Alabama or you make it up to Colorado, I'll lean on you for helping me installing a set.

 

Check my tech gallery and read motoman's stuff. It isn't too hard. I had to have my neighbor drill the holes. I just couldn't do it. We used a uni bit. Worked great.

 

Watch out ill be there!

 

haha brandon.... yea its only like 3 hrs but if i get all layed out and dont feel comfortable with it i might do that im gunna be in montgomery nov. 14 15 and 16 my uncle is gunna be racing his car on pinks. so... like i said i might take u up on that

 

Is that when Pinks is coming back??? I'll probably go and watch one of those days.

Shoot Ill bring a drill and a level and we can get it done in the parking lot.

 

Maybe TS

 

Steve, I am gonna be straight up honest with ya......... I dont plan on being able to drill a straight hole at TS, and plus you need to get this done before then, it really is simple. The hardest part is just starting the job.
I did not use a drift or center punch when I did mine, I used a sharpie and outlined all the bases (after I had it all measured) and then drilled the holes for the wiring to go through ( my truck is red so I used a red sharpie) the wiring is simple, Brown = +, Black = -. You will find a brown(running light positive) wire under the kick panel by the pax door ( solid brown wire is the universal color for running lights /parking lights in most vehicles)

If you want to come over and make a saturday of it, we can do your cab lights, and some other things if you want. I am full up until after Nov 8th with Cheerleading competitions (my two daughters each have games and competitions on Saturdays until then) but after that we can find a good weekend. I am about 70 miles from Tuscaloosa, straight down 82.

 

Since there are several people who have installed cab/clearance lights, I ordered my set last Thursday. They will be here on Wednesday. Recon smoked lens with amber LED

 

brandon i've already mapquested it ha ha we'll figure out a saturday towards end of nov. or first of dec. i know how schedules get full. i guess i'll have to order somethin to make it a full saturday those recon clearance lights pretty good? black on a black truck
