I love precision. This is the best video I’ve found on cab lighting. This is exactly how I want to install mine. Plug and play. Excellent video sir. Very helpful.
Just what I needed to realize I want to pay someone to put my cab lights on lol. GREAT video tho seriously probably the most informative yet understandable video I’ve seen... thanks
I was a mechanic at a GMC dealer in the late 70's and I installed cab marker lights on 4 or so brand new trucks that were not ordered with them. At the time you could order a kit complete through GM with a template for the holes. Your video brought back some good memories! Keep the videos coming!
I don’t have the guts to drill holes in the roof of my truck like that! Fantastic job, if you didn’t make the video you would never know they weren’t factory installed!
Great video, very clear instructions. I don't even own a truck but I watched the complete video and several of your other lighting videos. I'm going to add additional lighting to my kayak trailer and I found your videos very interesting for this purpose.....Take care, Bluefin.
Duuuuuude lol....great tutorial ....one of the best I've seen on YT ...Seems like you've had training giving instructional classes , either that or your just unusually skilled at detailing and explaining tasks . Great job .
Cannot thank you enough for this video ! I’m installing a pair of Klein air horns and a set of LED cab marker lights.. NOT FORD. LoL. Seriously you did a great job here. The magnetic parts tray to catch the metal burs ? Awesome
This video is exactly what I was looking for! Wanted to do my install as OEM-like as possible with all factory parts, and you’ve enabled me to do exactly that. Thanks!
I went ahead and installed my cab lights. I followed your instructions and everything went perfect. Thank you so much for this video buddy, take care friend. 👍
@@robertharris4034 4 hours tops and that's because I took my time measuring the holes twice and running the wires. I imagine there's some out there that can do it in less time like maybe 2 hours. There is NOTHING hard about this job, it's simple but just a little time consuming and that's it.
Very nice video, and well done using OEM parts. Yes halogen is antiquated but the LED kits out of china are crap, they are made with bottom of the barrel recycled plastics which do not hold up to UV wear. The LED chip is an all in one part, so WHEN it stops working you need to replace the entire thing.The other benefit to halogen lamps is they melt snow pretty quickly during the winter. If you really wanted LED's then for a couple dollars you can order a pack of led bulbs from china. When doing vehicle upgrades and modifications, using as many OEM parts as possible gives the best quality installation and look.
Would a truck with a sunroof be a different part #? I have 2016 Lariat Crew Cab with a sunroof. I've looked up a truck with a sunroof and cab lights and the part # matches. What does the sunroof plug into? Thanks bud
that airbag light can be a real son of a bitch. Nicely done! I love the templates you made. Luckily my 14 350 XLT with the 6.7 i had remembered to order them when i was placing the custom order almost ten years ago now…, and i just swapped out the bulbs with LED and blue shells to match the truck. I did switch the mirror marker/blinker lights as well to be smoked out in a similar fashion. Someone destroyed one of my entire mirrors (which is hard to do with these), and the back housing was essentially gone, ordered a whole new mirror from ford and it came from Australia! With the new one on, I am starting to miss the amber on the rest of the truck a bit. Might have t use these part numbers and totally do a refresh this way.
I’m rarely impressed but you sir, are impressive. What a perfect video. I will say it is horrible how easy you make that look. If you were local, I would pay you to do mine! Great job!
OH! Kano Labs is having a sale on Kroil with 2 big cans for 1 price . $20 and free shipping. Didn't know if you used Kroil or not. I really like the stuff. The 'Google' special I think they're calling it. I jumped on it with both feet. Good deal, Squatchy!
I thought you might be a Kroil guy and especially with all the beloved artifacts sitting about. I'm not able to get much at a time, one can really, so I bounced on this with both feet. I get their newsletter and that helps me make up my mind BUT the free shipping did it, PLUS the 2 for 1! So Happy Spraying, Buddy!
Very meticulous Squatch253 Great tutorial,Great instructions, you did an awesome job explain in detail the steps for complete installation.. I have a 2015 F350 with cab lites. The little tab on the base is broken on two of the Factory OEM and one base is cracked, I have a roof leak coming from one of them this video should help me. I didn't know that the roof lite bases had nuts on them. This video showed me what I needed to know.. I have a diesel engine with dual batteries,will i need to disconnect both negative posts?? Thanks again,
I just finished installing a flasher for my clearance lights on my 2019 Super Duty, they flash as intended when auxiliary 1 is on, but I no longer have power when off. I’ve checked the fuses under the passenger kick panel and they are all working fine, I did find that no power is reaching the connector on the A pillar passenger side, is there another fuse to check, manual doesn’t specify which fuse is for DLR lights. They look great and excellent job on the install.
Just did mine today. The wiring harness is the wrong part number for a 2012 king ranch. The correct part number is BC3Z-15A404-B everything else was spot on. Thanks for making this video
Spectacular video sir! I want this done to my 2016 Platinum, but was hesitant till I watched your video. Now I’m pressing forward with confidence! Thanks!
Nice job squatch. Just got a used 2016 that I’m going to add clearance lights to but I do like the led’s better. Can u tell me if they would plug directly into the Ford factory wiring harness? Thank you sir
Quick question, how long did it take for you to do the whole installation? I know it will take me a little longer, but would be nice to have an approximation. Outstanding video by the way!
Thank you Squatch! I just did the install and it was a snap. The longest part was soldering up a wiring harness. A cheap upgrade that looks pretty damn bitchen!
You got the rig- doll 'er up! Sure am glad it's YOU doing this. I'd just pull a Red Green and duct tape 5 cheap flashlights to the cab but I'm not that industrious. I know a guy that used a flashlight with red cellophane taped to it for a tail light for hauling hay after dark. I think the local law knew him too and just let him go on and not get involved with a fire or an explosion if they didn't have to. My x Uncle-in-law said if you didn't believe in a Higher Power, just ride with that guy or just be around him for a while. You would! FINE JOB on the Big Boy!
I had an x-uncle-in-law that had an old Dodge with a worn out fuel pump cam and he built a scaffold over the cab, mounted the tank on it and gravity'ed the gas to the old flathead. Ran it that way for years. And another old drunk used the windshield washer bottle. Enough gas to go get beer and back home. Takes all kinds I reckon!
great job. 2 questions 1, is the part number for the harness the same for a 2019 King Ranch and , question 2, process is the same with the moon roof? Thanks
Quick question, I know the lights follow the curvature of the windshield but does each light point straight "front to back" or do the point perpendicular to that curvature?
Can you tell me whether I can add can lights to a 2013 F150 Platium and utilize the same plug & play wiring harness you used ? I’m being told that in order to put cab lights on the above mentioned truck… that wires will have to be ran and tied into other electrical components on the truck which I did not want to do. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
The harness will very likely be a different part # for the ‘13 but you shouldn’t need to run separate wiring for the lights - because the roof clearance lights were a factory option in ‘13 that means a factory harness should be available for them. The only reason you wouldn’t be able to get one would be if that harness has been discontinued, but I think it should still be available.
Thank you very much for your response .But I’m wondering since yours was a super duty 150… is my ‘13 150 platinum gonna come with the same wiring that will allow me to just buy similar wiring harness and plug it into a “junction box”like you did ??? And lastly, if you could possibly direct me to proper website or give me contact info so I can order my parts same place as you… you’d truly be my hero. Again, thank you very much for responding.
If you still have the truck what's the measurement for the satellite nav. antenna from windshield edge and side of first light? Installing antenna and lights. Thanks.
What kind of mileage are you getting with it? I've got a 13 F-150 5.0, pulling my gooseneck I get 9-11 at 55-60 with a tractor on and empty no trailer I get 17-18 at 70-75, winter obviously being worse than that. I've got a 18 F250 at work with the 6.2 I opted for 3:73's and I'm lucky if I get 12.
@@squatch253 Thanks for the info, I've been kicking around the idea of trading to a 3/4 ton but with the amount I pull a trailer I wonder if it's worth the drop in mileage.

Great job man! Very impressive detailed rundown. Being a Ford employee do you know if this process is the same with the 17+ super duty's?
The light design switched to a flatter, squarer LED version .
