The only lights that will work that I know of are 3rd gen dodge lights. The only problem is you have to drill holes. They are the only ones big enough to cover the factory holes.

I "think" not exactly sure if it is the company but I think Putco makes a clear L.E.D. 3rd brake light. Not sure about tail lights.

Again I only think LOL

i have a set of cab lights on my pickup from a SD and got recon covers. it took a little work to get them in but they look good. there is a magazine called LMC and they have a clear 3rd break light.

Pic of it, please. Also, does the cruise still work with the LED 3rd brake light? Or did you add the load resistor?

Thanks

Hey y'all I'm new to the site. Anyone know of the best place to get a kit for cab lights if I dont have any? I want just the factory amber, maybe clears down the road.And any advice on installs/how much work it actually is, it seems fairly easy.

Go to ford or the junk yard. All the aftermarket ones come w a POS harness. For placement.... Do you know of anyone that has a lund visor laying around? Just tape the visor to the roof. There are reliefs for factory cab lights. Just pencil em in. That way if you ever put a visor on your truck there will be no worries about fitting

do just the lenses come off or is it all one piece? and how does each light plug in?

2 screws hold them down. the lens and the frame are one piece. It is just a 1/4 turn socket 194 bulb

How are they POS?Do the materials just seem cheap?I'm sure Ford would charge me an arm and a leg for one, but I bet the parts are obselete like everything else they USED to carry for these trucks.Good thing there's guys like everyone on here to keep them alive!
