Do you have a specific question or just want to know if anyone has them that didn't have them before?

 

just wanted to know if any one has done the install and how they did it. basically what ever info i can get before i start installing

 

Search "cab lights" and you'll find several threads on how to do it. Easy enough to do, just takes time to get it right.

 

I installed factory cab loghts on my truck. They havent had any leaks yet and loom great. 2nd gens make it easy cause there are access holes already in the interior roof.

 

I plan on ordering the same thing sometime. I just don't want my headliner to sag after the work is done.

 

Headliner won't sag unless it's having issues already. The material is attached to a hardboard type material and is stiff enough to be removed and reinstalled with out coming apart. To be on the safe side, it's best to have 2 people when doing this.

 

I installed cab lights last fall. Did not remove headliner, just lowered it a bit. I used the Pacer smoke lens kit and wired it up my own harness. I read too many bad reviews on Recon and they don't look like factory. Pacer has the same shape and lens as factory. Only problem I had was I ordered LED and they came with LED bulbs, not wired into the light assy. Turns out, this is better. If a bulb goes out, it can be replaced. If the assy died, would have to re-wire a whole new cab light. I also ditched the LED because they only shown straight ahead and were kind of yellow. They also sent me amber incandescent bulbs which I used and are brighter and actually orange. I tied it into the running lamps behind the light switch.

There are many write-ups on cab lights around the webz. Here's my favorite:

I installed mine last spring-ish. Just lowered about half of the headliner and drilled away!

 

thank you so much!
