Which lights did you use?

How much?


This is something I want to do!


Looks Superduty!

 

Those look nice, where did you get them and did u install them your self? If not how much did it cost? Thanks

 

The lights used are Ford's Superduty clearance lights. I measured the spacing from a superduty but set them back 5 inches instead of 4 inches. I did this because of the different slope of the f150. (they don't look to forward)

Bought them from Cabelas for $44 plus shipping. Installed myself and tapped into the driver side parking light. Took about 4 hours to complete. Most of the time was being sure of measurements and alignment.

I also did this mod, but put the lights more forward and god forbid used the lower profile chevy lights.

 

How much work was it to pull the headliner down to install the wires?

 

Not sure how bobbydee3 did it? I have a sunroof so just used a coat hanger to fish wires out toward the window pillar. Only took me a hour to install them.

 

Looks nice but def not my style.

 

Excuse me for my ignorance but, what purpose do those lights serve? I've always wondered. Thanks.

 

"Roof Clearance Lights", the purpose is stated in the name. They are there to give off light on taller trucks to make sure that if height is an issue that you will not have to worry about clearance above your truck. The lights are supposed to help you judge this.

Plus I think on alot of trucks they looks cool, and that is purpose enough alone!

 

Not much work at all!
1-Remove the two pillar covers.
2-Remove the two covers for your suicide doors. (this is if you have the extended cab)
3-Remove over head storage bin, light and 4 torx screws.
4-Remove sun visors
5-Let head liner sag.

I did all the prep work of extending the leads to the lights before installation. I also made the final crimps in the pillar cover and grounded under the dash so if something happens I don't have to drop the liner again.
I hope this helps you out.................

THAT LOOKS AWESOME!!!!! i've always wanted to do that!

 

Got any pics from the side?


I want to do this mod too just looking for more pics.

 

I did this mod about a year ago as soon as I bought my truck. You can actually buy a set of these lights at any auto parts store. I believe it was the first mod I did. You really just have to remove the sunvisors to drop the headliner down. The easiest way to mark is to get some paiinters tape and put it on the roof in a line from the windshield straight back. Then place the lights on the tape and mark for your holes. It might be better and sturdier to buy some other bolts along with some nuts to make sure they stay in place. Make sure you od not mess it up because it is a permanent alteration to your truck. Once they are installed just run your main power line acroos the headliner (passenger side to drivers side. Then down the A pillar and tap into the parking light wire on the headlight control panel. It is a really nice mod once it is done.

 

Here you go. Sorry 'bout the crappy pics. It's my camera phone and it doesn't seem to be cooperative today.
