So I want to install clearance lights on my truck, anyone on here do that before? How much of a pain is it? advice? I also was told there is a wire behind the passenger side kick board that you can hook them up to so when you turn on your headlights the clearance lights turn on with them, true?

 

You mean cab lights? Its actually really easy, drilling holes in the roof is the hard part

 

yes passenger side kick panel, brown wire.

 

ok cab lights haha what about running the wires between the roof? ive heard that's a pain as well, how is drilling the holes hard?

 

Just get the right hole saw and the drilling is easy the hard part is getting enough courage to hack up your roof lol. My roof had a little bit of insulation stuff on the passenger side but a stiff wire went through it easy enough.

 

That's why I haven't put em on yet lol do you use anything to help seal up the holes to keep moisture out?

 

96FordI6 : What headlights do you have? Sorry, off topic

 

Tyler.172, if your truck is an 87-91, that plug will be in the driver side kick panel, just so ya know. I didn't see the year of your truck in this thread.

Running the wire is easy. Just measuring out and making the harness takes a little time and some soldering. They can all be wired in parallel, and they ground to the roof of the truck, so its just a power wire with 5 leads off it. Solder so you never have to take it out and fix it!

 

i got a quote from a shop for $60 and they will drill/mount the lights if i remove the headliner and i wire it up afterwords. i cant bring myself to drill the cab lol.

 

60$ is a real good price, maybe I'll look into that too.
