Default Clear Cab Lights

Truck came with cablights but i don't like the look of the tinted factory ones anymore as they look red at night, really looking to buy a set of clear cab lights. My question is is there anywhere that i can just buy the actual caps themselves. Being that i already have cab lights i don't need all the wiring and stuff that you'd purchase in a kit i just need the clear caps that go over the bulbs

I have the Recons in clear, put them on about six years ago and they've held up well. We did at one time get a 15% discount on the Recon site, I think we still do by typing "DODGEFORUM" for the coupon code...

I bought after market LED one on EBAY last year for about $50. The are the entire light but screw holes are the same and you only have to wire nut the existing wires.

Nope, but just this past summer (after about six years) I am starting to get just a hint of condensation inside the lights. I have narrowed it down to the O-rings around the screws dry rotting and cracking with pieces breaking off. But six years in the summer sun, I can't b*tch. I just need to pick up some new O-rings at the hardware store or at least get up there with a little silicone or clear nail polish to seal them up...

How easy were they to install? Im not to advanced when it comes to wiring, but have always loved the look of the cab lights, do ya just drill holes to mount them, and does the wiring come with a plug of some sort? or do ya have to hook em up to the marker wires

So the kit comes completely wired already with just a plug? and wheres the factory harness plug into? i know theres an open plug on the passenger side right along the seal where the hood comes down on the plastic piece between it and the windshield.
