100 bones for 5 LED lights that shouldn't ever need new bulbs and they come with the wiring harnesses....... I think its reasonable.... And they look great

go with a smoked set of recons for a dodge 03-09 model. they are a lower profile than the super duty and look better on out body style in my opinion. Thats what i am going to go with this fall. You can pick them up for around 80 bux on ebay.

there was a really good write-up done by one of the guys in the 04+ section, might check there. Are you going to space lights evenly across the cab or do the 3 grouped together in the center?

Ok I'll go with smoked dodge but it'll be a while I'm just throwing around the idea trying to get info now and I'm going to be starting my first year of tech school in August

Yeah Im getting the Dodge cab lights for $60 http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-09-DODGE-...aba49b&vxp=mtr, I think the Ford ones stick up really far. Here is a couple how to's on them https://www.f150forum.com/f38/f150-c...flasher-97754/ http://www.fordf150.net/articles/idx...er-Lights.html

Put mine on my truck in an evening and morning pry only 3 hrs total. Got em off ebay, there Pacer brand came with everything ya needed, layed it out with tape and drilled the holes. Only need to pull the front part of the headliner down enough to fish wires and i wired mine into the pigtail under the dash for the brake controller (it had an illumination feed that wasnt needed) so they turn on with my headlight switch. They have replacable bulbs and are stock lights for 99-11 f250's but work on our f150's. They were $50, i thought about LED but ive heard of them burning out for some reason and i dont like the idea of having to but a whole $100 set when on burns out, rather would spend a dollar on a bulb every once in a while.
