The kit I got from JC whitney cost me 30 bucks. Comes with the wire for the lights. I drilled two 1/8th" holes for the screws to thread, and one 1/4" hole in the middle of the two smaller holes for the wire to go through. When you take down your headliner, there are already spots that you can see where they fit. It was very easy. I did it to both trucks. Look just like the stock lights from dodge. Saves you 50 bucks through JC whitney. All you have to do is find the wire that comes on with the running lights. Pretty easy.

Go to this exact site on jc whitney. It came sealed with the five lights, the wires, and instructions. When you take your pillar off your truck, you can move the headliner down a bit. Then you will see the spots for the lights. I found the center of the hole by measuring(this is all in the inside) between both sides, took a spring loaded center punch and marked all five holes. Then I took a 1/4" drill bit and drilled five seperate holes. Go to outside of vehicle, stick wire from light through hole, center, and then punch the two holes for the light. Put in screws and that light is done. Pretty easy folks.
Also, they dont look like the lights in the picture. They look just like dodge lights. Generic photo on JC whitney.

Ugly Chicken Lights
I was wondering in anyone has a picture of their cab mods before attaching the light? Reason I'm asking is the previous owner of my truck put lights out of jcwhitney on it, and I was wondering how involved switching to factory lights would. To me these just look gawdy but I dont want to do a bunch of bondo and such just to change lights. Will post the link of the lights to see what others think of them.

Whats wrong with the stock lights??? They look so much better and are definitely worth the few extra $$, imo.
Guess I should have made myself clearer. I want to go to the stock lights..Hate the ones on it now. Just wondering how close of a fit it will be to the holes allready in my cab...

#82207252 - Low-profile oval/square shaped light kit for late 2nd gen and 3rd gen trucks; $89
Basically, unless you have one of the early 2nd gen trucks, you want the 82207252 kit. Yes, the Dodge book says that the triangle lights are for 94-02 trucks. However, they didn't come from the factory with those and you don't want those. I had to take my kit back and do a swap. Here's the correct lights:

My 1998 had those "incorrect" lights on it right from DC, I added them to the second 1998 I have. Why don't you want them? I think the "flat" ones look like
