Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new ride.

You'll find a lot of folks with a lot of good info to help you out with that diesel.

Take a peek through some of the DIY's up near the top and you'll find a lot of useful info for maintaining these puppies......not that they require anything overly extensive.

Again, welcome, holler if ya need anything.

Rich

Most of the folks here use Recon lights www.gorecon.com

RedRam05baby did a write up on how to install them but that was on a 3rd gen. I want to say Mayfair did one for the 2nd gens...happy searching

The light kit themselves is only about $80. They usually come with the template to mark and drill the holes, if you get the factory ones.

If you decide to go the factory route, the best one to ask would probably be Dave (parts/service), he's the Service and Parts manager at O'Neal Dodge.
