I went out and bought a new set of LED cab lights and tried to install them today. I accidentally shot a screw through a wire and before the fuse popped it managed to fry my headlight switch. Merry Christmas

Sooo tomorrow I will be replacing that after the presents are opened.

The good news is.......The lights look great. Once I get the switch replaced I will post some pics.

 

Sorry to hear that happened, atleast it was just the switch and not the whole truck. Good luck with it.

 

The headlight switch blows to protect the 60 amp fusible link.

 

New switch, new fuse, new wire, new cab lights. The wire to the exterior lights is so small it acted like a fuse. Burnt off at the spade connector. I went up a gage at the connector. It seems to be holding just fine. I have an idea that the trailer lights actually started the problem. I spent all summer pulling landscape trailres and dump trailers. This winter I think I am going to install relays and make a seperate trailer harness for the trailer lights and the auxiliary power to the dump trailer battery. When it gets dark I will snap some photos of the cab lights and post them.

 

What lights did you use?

 

I'd like to install cab lights on my truck, but the drilling of holes in my roof has me thinking twice...


as well as having to pull down a headliner that looks brand new, and trying to get it to fit back again, the way it looks now.

 

I don't really see why the headliner would need to come out. It won't gain you any access because the roof is double walled.

 

Thanks Bill, that's what I thought.


I guess you'd have to cut an extra hole in the inner wall, and put a bung in there to run the wires back down


Oh well, it was just a thought anyway.

Here are the pics. It really doesn't do them justice, but they are much brighter than stock and they don't hang tree branches like them either.
