I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but those lamps are installed in the wrong place. The center lamp is supposed to be centered with the center of the cab, but the next 2 out are supposed to be appx. 8" from the center and the outers are supposed to be about 13" from those two. They ARE NOT evenly spaced from the factory.
Sorry bout that ,

Sorry bout that ,
Ehh, not bad news. I am aware of the differences, and don't mind the way it looks. The center one is centered on the cab, and the others are all just evenly spaced. It is not exactly factory, but they did not have an exact template to work off of.
If I did it myself I wouldn't have either, and I am not a body work type of person.
Nothing to be sorry about!

as long as you are happy thats all that matters. The lights just for decoration, its not like there are DOT regulations on how close to the outside edge the lights are supposed to be. 
seriously as long as you just wanted them for looks theyt are fine, You should even brag to your buddies(before they give you shat) that you spaced them that way on purpose so your truck would stand out in a crowd

Got any pics? I am considering the smoked lenses, but kinda like the amber on black contrast... I did install the smoked lenses in the side view marker lights, but am still unsure....

For those of you that are contemplating this job, and "don't have a template", here's a "how-to" for you:
Mind's Cab Light Installation
It will look much more "factory" when done than the one above.

Mine are getting installed tomorrow and they are smoked. I, too have bought the smoked mirror blinkers, and hope the smoked look goes with the tinted windows and such.

Those come with the amber, factory lens.
The other numbers are Recon lenses of alternate colors.
As a result of buying clear lenses (and amber 194's), I have five amber lenses if anybody needs a spare or two.

With his permission, I posted Mine's installation so it wouldn't be lost after he gave up his own website.
I also have his bellowed up-pipe install to re-format and put up.
