Cab Light Kits?

My truck doesn't have factory cab lights. I want to install the Recon clear cab lights, but I was wondering if anybody sells the kit. Im sure I can get it from Dodge but it would be really expensive, or I can wire them myself if I have to. Any help would be great

I bought a complete kit from a local farm store. they are generic tear-drop shaped cab lights. I think they look good. the whole kit was $15. this included lights, connectors, wires, and a switch. I'm sure you can get the same type of kit online for a similar price. Here is a pic of my truck. I hope you can see them good enough!

Recon comes with bulbs and bases and short wiring. Just have to run wire for the power. PM sent.

you might check out ebay motors I think tey have the kits from Recon, it is a great kit comes with the wiring, lights, bases, and the format to layout the top of your truck to drill the holes ( the drilling is the hardest part, just hard to drill on a good roof ) I went with the 03 and newer lights just like them better IMO

Wheres the best place to find the RECON kit at? And does anyone have the measurements where stock light locations are? or are guys just placing them where they look good?

EDIT - Ok scratch the question about where to find them at. Google is great.

drop your headliner and you will see exactly where to drill! there are holes in the frame of your roof. it is actually very easy to get the locations perfect.

Keep in mind the recon lights are LEDs and the cheaper knockoffs on ebay are bulbs.

I bought the cab light kit from Mopar that came with everything I needed, minus basic tools and a drill. Even though I have a 01, I bought lights that went on 99 and older trucks. Different style lenses. I have part numbers for both the older style and the new style 2nd gen marker lights for anyone that wants it.

Not a lot of work, but take your time, and double check the lineup BEFORE punching and drilling the holes.

Heres the kit:


Heres the result:

DONT buy the pacer hi-five set. I started with them, and within 18months they were faded to an awful orange color, same with my buddys.
