Anyone have MORE than FIVE cab lights???

Wanting to put some cab lights on my truck but want to do 7 or 9 I think. I have looked everywhere on the net and have not found a thing on it. Im usually pretty good at searching and finding but Im at wits end on this. Post up some pics or links if you got anything at all. Thanks!

Not a good idea in my opinion, but do whatever makes you happy. Do post some pics if you do it.

I just wanna see what it will look like. I know I gotta buy two kits and get what I want out of them. There is one guy that used to have a dually around here that had like 13 or so....no space at all between them. Was kinda overdone. I want to see between 7 and 9.

Why is it not a good idea?

Kinda agree. Not a big fan of drilling anymore holes in my roof than I have to. Dad's factory running lamps on his 03 are leaking. Ruined the headliner and caused alot of rust before we caught it.

I just put cab lights on mine this past weekend and I don't know that I'd want to drill any more holes than I did. I was nerve racking to say the least.

Some guys like the lights. I never did. And I had an old Ford where they leaked and rusted. Why do I need clearance lights? Most bridges I go under are plenty high.

If I were inclined to put them on, I'd go with some flat LED lights.... Maybe a lightbar from the trunk lid of a car or something cool and different.

I don't really mind the cab lights but I can tell you I was happy to find this truck that does not have them. No more driving down the road after a heavy rain and making a turn only to have water come pouring out of the sunvisor mount......

You too? I ended up putting some silicone on them...

I think if the lights were evenly spaced and low profile, they might not look too bad... but not as big as the ones we have. Maybe you could find someone that can photoshop and fab something up for ya.

As for buying them, the Farm and Fleet stores around here have them in bins in bulk. You can buy them in bushels if you want.

I think small LED's would look really cool.... And a light bar would only require one small hole for the wire.....

I have 5 on my 04 ( From the factory ) 7 lights on my 93 and 92 and 9 on my wifes 05. I usuall use un-even numbers of lights so you can center the first one and then work out from there. I allways think about safety, and the more visiable you are , the better..
