Default Clearance Lights - Anyone have them?

Okay so yesterday i was going though some old boxes of stuff from when we moved back in Nov and i came across a teardrop clearance light set that i bought for my old Silverado i had at the time. Since i don't have it anymore i thought how would they look on the D?


I wanted to do a design like on a Mack truck like this --> Name:  rooflights.jpg

Interesting idea, and I hope you go for it so can see how it'll look. However, I get the feeling it would look a little out of place on an SUV...and I certainly don't think a Mack truck look would suit a Durango.

I believe fire eater either has those on his truck or talked about them at one time

If i remember correctly he laid them out evenly spaced but, i don't think he went thought with mounting them. I personally like the three in the center, two on the ends look better myself but, first i have to get over bringing myself to drill into my baby's roof

I got a chance to do some measuring (before the thunderstorms rolled in) but did not get to tape and layout the lights to see how they look...

Whoa! I've always liked the clearance light look on trucks, but never even thought about it for my D. Agree with Old School on the 3 in the center, 2 on the ends look too.

I have some hail damage up there at the moment, so this might be something to work into that project when I get around to it! Great idea!

Looks great Old_School! Are you going to be doing a write-up as well? *crosses fingers*

Do they come on separately, or just automatically with the corner lamps/head lights?
