Default Can't find Cab lights I'm looking for..

Hey guys,

I'm new and I'm trying to find cab lights for my 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. I want something that's not so aftermarket but also cool. As well as cheap since well they're lights.

I also have a question on exhaust. I love the sound of my 5.9 and I definitely want it to be louder..Any tips?

Ditch the catalytic converter and a good aftermarket muffler would make it loud. CherryBomb extreme would probably be a good choice...

To keep it nice and legal with the Feds you could switch over to a MagnaFlow High Flow Cat and a good muffler...

True duels would work too

did you try searching for cab lights? Cheap ones are on eBay. A company that's well known for lighting is Recon. Cheap things are cheap for a reason...they usually don't last.

@matt that's true. I've seen recons and wouldn't mind some. I think I would go for those.

@Stewie. I like the idea. What would you suggest for legal. Keep in mind it's 5.9 so the options are vast lol

I have the 15 count led cab lights on my truck that I have got from orileys. They are optronics and seem to be holding up pretty well.

MagnaFlow High Flow Cat and a MagnaFlow muffler would have a nice sound, if you want loud then probably a Cherry Bomb Extreme.

Did you do a search for them at all? There are thousands out there. Check ebay.

nope. it the harness plugs into the back of the fuse box in the dash. there is already a plug in the cab light spot, but that controls the overhead console. when you remove that and put the cab light harness in it has the o/h console harness in it too.
