Default '99-02 clearance light question

Hey guys- I wanted to know if someone could measure the screw hole center to center distance on the roof clearance lights of their '99-02 Ram for me? I'm looking to retrofit a set of these to a '94 Ford and the light setups themselves are VERY similar in size, so I want to see if the screw holes will be close enough I can just swap them straight out.

Thanks!

I recently installed a set of cab clearance lights on my 98 Ram 1500 and it wasn't bad but make sure when drilling the holes you pull the headliner down enough. I measured the distance from the edge of the windshield back and then the space between each light. Your center light is inline with your rear view mirror mount because this is the center of your cab so this should be the 1st light you mount. Everything is measured left and right from that point. I got my measurements from a Dodge dealership by asking a saleman to measure the lights and he said ok. Got my tape measure, pen, and pad then took the mmeasurements back made small marks with a dry erase marker then mounted them. I bought mine from Advance Auto Parts for 19.99. Kit came with set of 5 amber lights, wiring, screws, and gaskets.

I'm asking about the OEM lights themselves...nothing about installation or any of that. Just a question of interchangeability.
