Cab lights

Honestly, the factory supplied ones on the Dodges, look a little on the el-cheapo order.
The ones original on 1980-86 Fords look a lot classier, in my opinion.
J.C.Whitney has about three different styles, including direct clones to the Ford ones I named.
I replaced the old crumbly ones on my Ford with the JCWhitney ones and am satisfied with the quality.

What brand are they? I bought the ones for the 94-00 dodge, and they were the high5 brand. Within 2 years they were a faded yellow color, so I stepped up to clear ones.

The roof line on our trucks has a curve to it, do these aftermarket cab lights fit that curve? I really want to install some on my truck but i dont want to have to deal with tons of silicone around them to seal them up.

Get a good truck light at any place that sells parts for big rigs or your local truck stop. Stay away from the cheap ones and try to stick with a known name like Grote, Deitz, Truck Lite and you can't go wrong, with most of the named ones it they ever go bad they will replace them free.
You can check out some lights at AW Direct.
