Ford super duty cab light template

Run a tape measure across your roof, and find the center. Your first light will be placed in the center. As you can see, your next 2 lights will be 8-inches right and left of the center light, and then the last 2 lights will be inches right and left of those. If not, the base could get a slight bend when you tighten it down, causing the lens to not seal correctly.

Make sure your lights are mounted straight and follow your roof lines. Once you have your holes drilled, remove the tape, and mount your lights. This is the plug that Ford plugs the factory cab lights in to. The violet wire with the white stripe is your power wire. Use the red wire in your kit, and the blue wire taps, and wire tap the black power wire for each cab light in to the red wire, as you run the red wire along the cab towards the drivers side. I added an inline fuse.

Once completed, turn on your lights to make sure your cab lights come on. If everything checks out, reinstall all the pieces you removed. Here you can see the gray plug above the parking brake cable assembly. Note the violet purple wire with the white stripe.

This is your power wire. An awesome member of our community made this guide. It is not managed by iFixit staff.

If your Ford F or any other truck does not come with LED roof cab lights, you can get some aftermarket LED cab lights to give it that gritty, off-road look. Lower the headliner. You'll need to remove both visors and the overhead storage console. Get some painters tape and tape up the entire front area of the roof where you will be installing the LED cab lights. Mark the locations where you will be attaching each LED light and the holes that you will be drilling. You can use a dry erase marker.

Draw a line perpendicular to the sides of the truck and measure the distance from the windshield molding by the driver's side door. You will basically need to draw a horizontal straight line from both sides of the truck and then find the center of the truck. Use the midpoint as a guideline and measure where you will be placing the rest. Measure 6. When you mark all the center holes, lay all of the LED cab lights in place to see if you like the look.

Get some spare cardboard laying around and trace out a template of the LED roof light. Mark the locations where you will drill the holes and align the template onto the lines you drew so you know where all the holes will be drilled later on. The underside of the LED roof cab light shows the 3 locations that will need to be marked on the roof to drill.

Connect the wires. The plugs are polar sensitive, so if it doesn't light up, you will need to flip it degrees. You'll need to wire them up in parallel and use some electrical tape so they maintain a parallel wiring. Route all the wire through the front map light assembly to complete installation.
