The cab lights have arrived!! All of the pieces are there this time. Now to get over the fact that I have to drill into my roof...

Any apprehension I had about drilling my roof disappeared after about 5 minutes. I used the formula that @88GMCtruck used. I changed a couple of measurements and I'm very happy with it. Below is the link I used as a guideline.

Got all of the measurements marked and ready to drill.

Got the holes drilled and the lights wired up to the positive post just to test my wiring. Of course only 2 worked until I turned the rest of the LED bulbs around.

Still wired to the positive post, but everything is screwed down.

Time to head back out and splice the power wire into my marker light circuit and put the interior back together.

badass man! I want me some cab lights even more now. I've got a set of OEM w/o lenses sitting there. Still not sure if I want to drill into my roof though. I may save them for another 400

If your confident in your measurements, drilling the holes is not that bad. What sucked was getting all them wired up especially when you don't use an OEM harness, oh and putting the interior back together afterwards wasn't much fun either.

I love the look of the roof lights, just not looking forward to drilling into my roof either. Plus I have every intention to put a 52" curved LED across the top. Don't think that would look too good with both.

That truck is coming around nicely. You need some oem center caps on there now.
