I like the cab lights but I dont know if I would put them on your truck since it sits lower and doesnt have a lift, no offense. But really its your own preference.

I was given some as a gift and didn't want them so my mother had them put on her 98 F150. After I saw what it looked like I now like them and now want some for my truck

In my opinion the bigger lifted trucks do look good with the cab lights on, thinking about doing them on mine eventually. You should be able to find pics online of F150s that have them on. Usually they run 5 of them just like the F250/350s have them with three in the middle and two spaced out a little further on the sides

If you do a lift then yes, it will look good. If no lift then not so much but that's my $.02

They are for big trucks in my opinion...

In the eyes of most all drivers, cab clearance lights are on only big trucks over 80" wide to warn others on the roadways that a larger wider vehicle is on the road and give them an idea of size at night...

To put then on a stock or mildly lifted 1/2 ton pickup makes a statement like "I stuck these on my little truck so it looks like a big truck"

Kinda like putting a sock in your pants
