After Luvnacumns did his yesterday (where's the pictures?) I figured I should do mine. Headliner is the hardest part. Or is it drilling 15 holes in the roof of my truck? It's actually a pretty easy install. Took 2-3 hours to do start to finish. I did let the drill slip and put a small scratch in the roof . Nothing a little touch up didn't take care of. Other than that simple. I know Luvnacumns routed his wiring through the firewall like the directions say. I wired mine into the harness in the passenger side pillar. The wire is white and grey. Checked it with a test light while the wife turned the lights on and off. They work fine. I made sure I put a good amount of silicone on the foam rubber seal just in case. If anyone has questions let me know.

 

I know I said I was going to do a detailed write-up. I still will, don't worry. I have a few more pictures to take. I wish I took more. The stuff that needs to be illustrated will be.

 

Im gettin there. I borrowed my dad's digital camera and don't have a USB cord to connect to my computer to download them.. I took extensive notes and pic's to help out.. It is really a simple install... I can't believe the dealer wanted $189 to do it. Congrats on the install and thanks for the help.. I can't believe my a-pillar wouldn't work but oh well I would of been done an hour earlier if I would of just ran it through the firewall and connected it..

Does the $189 include the lights?

 

Did you guys get the OE light kit from the dealer? or other OE provider?

Or did you go with a Recon type kit?
(just one of my "to do" mods on my list)

and yes...lets see some pics!

thanks

I got mine from the dealer. Luvnacumns got his from Dodgeparts.com. It's the same kit just a better price.

 

Nope... Just labor!!!!!

 

I should have it all done tomorrow asuming I can upload these pic's...If not I'll be ******.. I took a lot of time and care into doing this to help others.


Shane

 

Good deal......we be waitin'!

 

OK, Ordered my cab lights!
Now lets see lots of pics and a detailed write-up so I can feel better about drilling holes in the roof of my truck..

Just what I needed. I'll be holding my breath.

 

Are the OE's coming with the rubber gasket?

 

The ones on mine were foam rubber. I put some clear rtv on them to make sure they were sealed up good. I think it'll seal pretty tight. If that's what they put on at the factory I think I'm in good shape.

 

Posted my write up in the performance section...

THanks Guys

Im a do it yourselfer the whole way and doing everything from build whole cars to oil changes. I took mine to the dealer and let them do it. Figured from what I have read about leaking if it leaks I drive back and let them worry about it instead of me ripping out the headlinder 5 times. Well worth 150 bucks. Just my .02
