Cab Light Install

I think I will just use the ones that came with it because the well nuts are 3 bucks a pop and I really dont want to spend another twenty bucks on that. So Im just still confuse on two things......
1 Do I need to get a little extra wire to ground them to a screw?
2 What the hell do I mount the bulbs to?

Where are they $3/each? Mine were only .98/each at home depot....

Really? want me to send you a set?

Order them on line for pick up in the store maybe?

I could order them online... Is it that much better to use them?

I think so, I wouldn't really like self tappers for this application...

There should be a socket that slips into the rubber piece then the wires go thru the 2 small holes, the ground wire will be long enough to ground to the back screw, some people say to use a well nut to get a better seal so it dont leak, i never used well nuts and never had any leaks

What do you mean? How to wire them? They are just wired in series, I'm not totally sure about the pacer kit but from your pics you take the long red wire run it across the roof and use the red splicers to hook into it for each light. Then that wire goes to the switch that came with the kit or the brown wire on the back of the headlight switch. Dont drill all the way through both layers of the roof. On the driverside right beside the sunvisor mount is a 1" or so hole already in the lower roof skin. Run your wires up through that.

If you use the well nuts you will have to run a ground wire exactly like the red one to ground each light. If you use the self tapping screws I guess you just ground each light on one of the mounting screws. I used a GM harness for mine and hooked the positve (red in your case) to the brown wire at the headlight switch and the ground (black or whatever color you use) to the black wire right beside the brown one. You can get two more of those red splice connectors to make that connection as well.
