Cab lights... on!
So I finally wired the suckers in... they look great in my opinion. I was a little skeptical at first because they looked so big. Also, the wiring that came with the kit was crap... the connection were very loose when plugged in, so I just ended up cutting and soldering everything together. I actually mounted them and sealed them Friday during the day and waited 24 hours for the RTV sealant to cure. I also went through a through a touchless car wash that has decent power streams and strong dryers before I put the headliner back on, and there were no leaks! In some of the pictures the center might look off, but that's because my rear view mirror is off center by .25 of an inch. Total install time was about 5 hours, took me 2 hours to measure everything out, as I measured every mark I make 50 times. On to the pics:

Mess on the inside:

They work!!!!

Re: Cab lights... on!
Dang! They look really good!
Did you wire them to a switch, or just to when your lights come on?

I wired them to the parkin lights wire in the switch so they turn on with my parking lights/headlights. I was thinking of putting a switch in, but that's just another thing I have to remember to turn off, lol.

Re: Cab lights... on!
Damn those came out great.
I was skeptical if they would look good or not. They turned out awesome. They appear to be aligned perfect to me.

Re: Cab lights... on!

Re: Cab lights... on!
Both going out at the same time is not common though.
I would at least check both of them.

Re: Cab lights... on!
everything is the hooked up the same... to that brown wire you probably spliced into behind the light switch knob. the side marker lights, cab lights, and parking lights. DID YOU SPLICE INTO THE BROWN WIRE?
