Clearance light install help needed

I'm getting ready to install some Super Duty Mrk. lights on my 96 & could use some advice. This truck has never had lights & the directions I have are for the S/D so the measurement don't look quite right for the OBS.

Has anybody installed these lights on the OBS & have some measurements on where to install them or can somebody get me the measurements off the originals on their truck. set back from windshield & distance from center to center would be great.

Thanks for the help, John

You can put them wherever you like really. Just make sure you space them evenly. =)

and remember, you can only cut a hole one time. :P
