i would make one. it's just 2 wires

 

I took the lights and set them on the cab where I wanted. I'm kinda **** so I measured a lot and marked the roof with my boy's washable markers. The lights in mine had one red wire several inches long with no connector and a black about 1.5" with a connector crimped on the end that was tacked down with a small self tapping screw(doubles as ground). I drilled the holes for the securing screws, secured the ground under where the light will be, and then drilled a hole just large enough for the red wire. I went in the cab and fished out the red wires, took a single wire long enough to run from the driver's side cab light to the plug in the kick panel, and clamped the red wires in place onto the main wire. I didn't cut the wires at the plug. I left the ground since they are already grounded. I pulled the red thing out of the plug so I could get the green wire out as is then connected the main wire to the prong. Once I get the LEDs or if I ever decide to make them do the electric slide when I remote lock my doors I'll do a little better job but that was easy and super functional.

 

I cheated when I did mine. I took the lights off a truck in a scrap yard measured the spacing between and front to back Then took the front edge of the headliner off and used the arc from that as the tmplate fo the top to mark and drill my holes. Then I strun two wires across the inside edge and dasiy chained the lights togther on the single wire. one wire ground and one hot. Then bought the 194 amber 4 led packs of 2 bulbs from autozone for $10 each and plugged em in and voila.

 

the LED 194's are direct replacments? and they are $10 each?

 

They sell packs of two LED bulbs for $10 per package each bulb contains 4 amber LED's. They are direct replacements for the stock 194 (or I beleive its a 194 bulb). you simply plug them in. They dont require anything to drive them. I use LED's on my tail lights too 3157 replacements in red LED's they are like $15 a set and have like 12 LED's and they work fine as long as you use heavy duty electronic flashers as they dont create enough load to cause thermals to flash. they barely create enough load for electronic flashers, if you convert the front amber flasher there too youll need to introduce load balancers to keep them flashing.

 

What do you mean by using heavy duty electronic flashers?

 

Standard factory flashers are thermal, meaning that as the current flows through them they get hot, after the reach a certain temp the contacts break/ open cool then close, thus causing the lights to flash. Heavy duty electronic are designed for heavy towing, and or additional lighting in which there are more flashing lights ie. turnsignals, hazard lights. They are simply an electronic switch that opens and closes the contacts by a timer and requires very little load to drive it. Thermals when used with LED's often dont get hot enough to open the contacts as the draw from the LED's is so small, thus no blink or with too many lights they will blink so fast they appear to stay on. Electronics require less load to operate so they will work with minimal load like the tailights only as I stated, and will not be effected by excess load. To control this problem usually the introduction of load balancers is used. Load balancers dont use any current but have a resistor in them to cause a bottleneck effect to add a load to the flasher units. By the way there are 2 flasher units on our trucks, the first in on the front side of the fuse panel, and the one that controls the 4ways/ hazards is on the back side of the fuse panel.

 

Good info Oversize!

 

So easy. I cant believe i evern posted anything asking questions! lol Heres some pics. I put them a little futher back. I looked at my plow truck and factory they sit so far up they look like they dont seal. So here they are.

 

Good job. When are you gonna make em blink?

 

Looks great!

 

Thanks guys! It made it a totally different truck.

 

Do they flash if you just beep the horn?

 

they would, but i put them on a relay to prevent that . when the key is on they dont work

 

Oversize,
Would you have a part number for the flasher you're talking about?
