If you ordered the Recon black lights like I did then I recommend you order the Mopar stock clearance lights.

Why?? Because it comes with a wiring harness and a template that you lay on your roofso you drill the holes exactly. Then install your black tinted lights. Yeah it is an extra $75 bucks for the Mopar kit, but you dont have to worry about drillingholes in your $50K in the wrong spot. If you drill in the wrong spot how much will that cost to correct? More than the price of the Mopar kit, I can promise you that.

The Recon lights dont come with any except the lights. They assume you already have stock clearance lights installed and are toswap them out.

As far as the Mopar kit, I was very impressed with the very clear instructions, the mounting template, and the wiring kit. It definately made the installation very easy.

Just my two cents.........

I've heard, but I don't know how true it is, that there are marks for where the lights go up under the headliner. When you take the headliner down apparently there's an inner roof and an outer roof. The holes are in the inner roof skin. This would be the roof that grab handles, compass, ect are screwed to.

Just repeating what I've heard.

You can have my template if you want it. It's got hole drilled through it but you could still use it.

When I pulled my headliner down, I did not observe any marks. Even if there were marksI would still be a little leary about drilling holes from the inside.
