I am thinking about having them put on my truck. Should I buy them from the dealership and have them install it? I know you can buy the kits online but I dont feel comfortable drilling into my roof at all. Just looking for a little advice here. Thanks

 

Myself and Luvnacumns just did that project. You can buy the oem kit online. If you checkout Luvnacumns sig he has a link to his "how to" write-up. From what I here the dealer will charge an arm and leg to install them. Check out the write up then decide. It really isn't that hard to do once you get past the drilling part.

 

Pardon the stupidity,, but what are chicken lights?

Cab lights. At least I hope so or I'm way off base!

 

yeah it is the cab lights...........I am just from arkansas

 

I thought that it was standard on the 3500 1 tons, I guess DC found another way to short the consumer.

 

I think in '06 DC made the cab lights an option on 3500 SRW models.

nope not standard on mine or any of the other 3500's on the lot I bought mine from..........maybe they just switched the badges on them.

 

also I check out that post from Luvnacumns......awesome post but I still dont think I would be comforatable doing that work. I wonder if I bought the kit somewhere online if dodge would still be able to install it?

 

I guess it's an option on the SRW now but I know they'll still be required by law on the DRW. Yup, just another way to cut costs a little, maybe next theyll start removing badges like they did on the fords

 

They are only required on trucks over 80" wide - in other words, the 3500 duallies.

The new Ford badges even have self removing paint on them.

 

Hmmmmmm.....
I always thought chicken lights were the Honda Turn signal lights that us Chicken Haulers used to mount on our West Coast mirrors (beaver lights) and the corner of Texas bumpers?
Properly positioned, a mirror mounted (beaver) light would enhance your night time driving safety by lighting up 4 wheeler interiors.
Fenders, battery boxes, fuel tank straps, bottom of yer cab...wasnt no place safe from them Chicken Lights.

There ain't no feelin like Chicken Mobilen

 

Anyone running the Recon smoked LED cab lights?
