cab lights?

[the big blue bus]

got em on... directiuons lmc gave said drill 7/64 hole so i did but when i tried to screw in the screws they gave me they just went flat. so drilled lil bigger and did some better sheet metal screws i had. still have to tap them into parking lights and get the middle 3 to work. dont know if its ground problem or what but they look pretty good up there

Just kidding! No really, pics!!!!!


Interior headliner stuff. I'd like to see where you ran the wires under the headliner, etc.

Exterior: How do they look? Day? Night?

well only 2 light up right now the outside ones. imessd one the groud wires up and idk what with other ones. i took some pictures and just taped the wires to roof. only one pic of wires really. you jsut drill the 2 holes for hlding lense in and then one in middler and drill through both layers andthen connect all the wires together under the headliner its a lil annoying to get in there but workable

Damn, those look really, really good! I like the clears on it! Thanks for the pics!

It looks like you completely removed your headliner? Did it break or kink when bending/removing it? How far back did you have to remove it?

I'm asking cuz I'd like to add cab lights to mine and install switches/wiring in the blank cover up top, etc. but messing with the headliner scares the crap out of me.


EDIT: How do the lights seal up with the metal roof? Good and tight? I'm thinking that if not, the holes would rust out in one season....At least for me up here.

i think he said he was using silicone sealant on them to seal the holes. If you are planing on doing it, heres what id suggest. remove the headliner, tap the holes, spray them with rustoleum. then use generous gobs of silicone to seal them/ prevent leaks.

i used some silicon on them. they arent perfect on there i did my holes a lil bit off but off well if ya dont stare at it long u wont notice. just took off the a pillar pice and that was enough. would be easier with more pieces taken off to drop it down more. i ned to figure why the center ones dont light up

Thanks for the info about the headliner. I"m feeling pretty confident about doing this so I just ordered up some switches, and now I'm shopping for those cab lights. I am liking the clears. Where did you buy them?

 

[the big blue bus]

lmc truck. they came with switch too but didnt use. going to mess with the power wires today and get the other lights working. longest part is taking the time to get them all laid out on the roof.

Did you ever get the middle ones working? How did you power them up?

If you splice into your driving lights ( amber lights) then they should work. That is how I hooked up my guide lights on my Duramax.
