there should already be perforated places on your cab if im not mistaken, you'll have to pull down your headliner to see. But if you buy a kit just make sure you seal them or what ever they say to do and you shouldnt have any problems

x 3 I want to do it too to my Chevy. Sorry to hijack the thread, but does anyone know if the Dodge or Ford lamps will fit properly on a Chev? (the middle light on the GMs looks completely retarded, I want 5 single lamps).

I don't see why not as long as the contour of the light assebly is not extremely different from the contour of your roof
