Default Cab lights...

does anyone know if i will run into any problems putting 3rd gen cab lights on a 2nd gen??? I didn't buy the cab lights yet and my truck doesn't have cab lights on it now,, so i would have to drill the holes and what not,,, i just want to know if i will have a problem with the curve of the roof and having gaps between the lights and the cab,,,,,

The lights will work on a second gen because some of the later second gens actually have the new style of lights. However the mounting template will not match up on the roof. From what I've read, the best bet is to remove the headliner, find the five holes for the cab lights and use those as a guide on where to mount them.

They are different styles of lights for the different years. It isn't like one light universally fits all years.
