Default Running lights

Hey guys, I am thinking of installing some cab/running lights. I was going to do 5 tear drops on top. I was also thinking of putting some along my front bumper like a big rig. Any ideas for pattern/design?

thanks

your cab is already wired for the running lights also, it is a brown wire behind the passenger side kick panel, where the fuel shut off is.

Yes. Except the 87-91 has the wire in the driver side kick panel.

OP its not a kit. I bought 5 cab lights, measured, drilled and ran the wires. For the grille lights they are just single LEDs siliconed to the filler panel. Once again just measure and wire. No kits used here!

Its in a harness style plug. One wire is a ground, the other is the power. I just cut the harness plug off the end. You can't miss it, its the only wires that don't plug into anything!
