I got mine from a salvage yard, I wanted factory lights. It's kinda handy that way since if you remove them right all the wire is already taped up and the little plastic clips are lined up with the holes already in the roof to hold the wires up. Only thing I didn't like was the factory lights screw into these plastic pieces in the roof, I took them, but they are square and I didn't really have a good way to make a square hole so I just sunk the screw into the roof for now till I think of something else.

Well that's my experience with them.

Oh, I also used a lot of sealer.

That was the hardest part for me I must say. Had the lights for two months working up the courage to install them. Took me another 20 mins sitting there with the hole saw deciding if I wanted cab lights that bad, haha.

Zman has a very nice set in the parts section for a great price. They're complete with a harness and the housings don't have UV damage.

I just installed a set of five and I bought them from harborfreight.com for like 15 bucks including shipping. Couldn't be happier with how they look!

I'm sure they came with the factory/oem harness too right? Unless of course you already have cab lites and were just replacing them.
