    Got my Pacer brand smoked cab lights installed over the weekend. I hid that ugly roof antenna in one of the lights also !! I also proved it can be done on a sunroof equipped Tundra. Made my own wiring harness and everything is ran down the A pillar and directly into the tail light fuse slot using an “add-a-fuse”. Clean install with no switches and no fuss.

    15 holes to drill .... Great thing about Pacer brand over the Recons is the fact you can replace bulbs and change color anytime. Recons are sealed and once burnt out you will have to buy an entire new light or set !!

    No template so lots of measuring and planning. Hard to miss putting screws in sunroof frame but with proper planning it can be done !!

    Once you drill that first hole the fear subsides

    BOTH !!!! I bought a factory paint pen and touched up all the holes first .... then used a bunch of waterproof and weather resistant type silicone on both sides before putting it all back together.

    Pacer smoked for Dodge Ram yes.
    I have had recon brand in the past and they were JUNK !! (Had 2 Recons burn out in first 6 months and had to buy an entire new set). With Pacer brand you can open and change bulbs as well as bulb color anytime. Recons are sealed and require you to buy an entire new light (color not changeable either obviously).

    Over priced IMO but I can see why people would buy them rather than drilling holes.

    Are those lights for looks or is there a need for clearance lights on the roof?
    I have seen them before years ago on trucks but didn't know what they were for or that people still put them on trucks.

    Just for looks on my truck. Here in Canada they are only required on pick ups measuring 80” wide and above.

    Nice job! I am plannig to add cab lights to my 2018 1794 ed., spent some time looking for differents cab lights. Have no issues with drilling after installing the hood scoop and cutting the side mirrors to adapt f150 marker lights on it :) The one I liked more are the ones that comes with the Dodge Ram. The only problem is that these lights has the led light board vertically. For me it will require to modify the light conector because I dont want to drill a hole that big. Also these light cost 51 each! I figured out how to mod it but still looking for more before final desicion.

    So glad I competed this project! I felt inspired by this thread! Little scary to put holes in your roof but let’s hope the silicone and foam do it’s job. Need to find clear leds versus the amber. There are too many options for clear bulbs so I’m torn. Thirsty, what LEDs did you go with?
