Help needed installing cab (clearance) lights

I just got a cheap set of cab lights from JC Whitney. Does anyone have a template for placing the lights on the roof?

Ask BigBlue if he still has his.

He still does, but I think he had his installed by a shop. I'm almost 100% sure that he didn't do his himself, but maybe he could help you out in some way.

I don't know for sure, but I've been told, the undersde of the roof is marked for the light placement. The question is, has anybody had their headliner down, and are there any such marks?

The light kit from the dealer comes with a drilling template.
Maybe if your dealer is nice they'll let you copy one.
Drilling in the wrong place is a drag since there are supports in the roof.

I haven't looked yet but that would be great!

You can see where the light are supposed to go when you remove the head liner. I also have the template (somewhere) if you'd like it. I'd have to find it first though.
