i just got a set of these but i was looking at the truck and i cant figure out which wire goes to the turn signal on the truck light and which wire goes to the running light on the truck light so that i can splice them in. If you could let me know what would be great

Turns signal? I've never heard of anyone tying the cab lights in to the turn signal... The wires to tap into are behind the passenger side a pillar. There is a five wire plug there. The wires are divided into two groups- a group of 3 (for the rear view mirror) and a group of two. the ones you want are in the group of two. There is a dark colored wire (ground) and a light colored wire (hot). It's easiest to tap them with a scotch lock.

Oh Rubberfrog I think hes talking about the running lights under the cab... those go to the turn signals.. It was easy to figure out.. theres 3 wires with the LED strips and 3 going into the running light because it does the turn signals to... I just cut the 3 wires and used a test light to figure out which wire does the running lights and which wire does the turn signal.. only 1 wire will light up with you put the running lights on..

I like the look of the clearance lights. Really gives the big rig look. I have a set I bought for my old Dodge and still haven't got around to installing them. Maybe they'll make it on this truck.

I'm got the Firestorm tail light bar on my truck and it's awesome. Same as the Fire & Ice but has amber scrolling turn signals. I have yet to see another anywhere around town which makes it even better. I just wish the had the tail light converter out when I installed mine so I didn't have to run wires to the front turn signals and the third brake light.

lights look good. I have been mulling the idea of putting cab lights on my truck, they would have to be the smoked ones. Not sure that I like the yellow/orange glow. Can you change the color of the bulbs? You have to cut holes into your roof dont you? Not sure I like that, how well do they seal if you do?

Amber is the only color allowed by law. You don't have to cut any holes, but you do have to drill. 15holes! 3 for each light- 2 holes at 1/8" for the mounts and a 3/8" hole for the wire harness. You seal them up with silicone. No worries about leaks, mine have been though some serious rain without leaking. I've installed these for a number of people and no ones come back with a leak.
