NICE RIDE!!!!

You need to cut the wires for the old ones and crimp/connect these on to the old wiring.

I got an original set and had some chrome paint come off. Called em up a few months ago and they sent me out a brand new set no problem. Now im just waiting for some warm weather. I wish that they were made better, like a metal base and better gromet and fastner. Also and this goes for the tailight, I wish they would have included plug and play harness adapters.
Still recomend the tailight and will say that with slight work and led bulbs, the cab lights could be installed forgotten about.

i did mine a little different on the mounting, i went to the local hardware store and bought some stainless washers and very small rubber washers with machine screws. put some metal nutserts in the cab so they would not come out no matter how much i torqued them. end results are very pleasing. no moisture in the lights or water in the cab. its a little late for pics now, but tommorrow i will get some if anyone is interested.
