Default Clearance lights.

Im thinking about purchasing a set of clearance lights for my truck, '98 scab. I just wanted to know if these would fit:
http://www.gorecon.com/product.php?p...99-11&p_cat=28

it says for '99 and up, but i don't see why they wouldn't work on my truck? Also if you got any advice on these or tips let me know. Ill be ordering right away here probley if they do fit.

Thanks.

ok, ye I was aware you had to drill them in. I just wasn't sure maybe the contour of the roof would be different? and they wouldn't fit? haha i don't know im just double checking to make sure i don't fudge up

Go with the Smoked Dodge lights they talk about in the ad. They are more low profile and in my opinion fit our body lines better.
I'm actually installing on my truck next weekend.

I almost went with the Dodge ones but wanted to keep it with the Ford styleing... either way they look great and I love mine... the only tip I have is thread a screw in as a "tap" after you drill all the mount holes so ya don't hafta fight with em... a good way is to start diagonally and pull it straight to bend the metal to accommodate the threads if that makes sense. Also watch for that cross brace in the roof
