Default Looking for a few appearance parts

I'm wanting to replace and add some stuff to my 99 F250.
Here's what I'm looking for.

Cab Lights (Not sure how hard it will be to install them, but I'm willing to do it.)
Running board lights (Seen them on a F350 going down the interstate. Look just like cab lights)
Front license plate holder (Mine broke off when I hit a deer and insurance never replaced it)

That's all for now I believe.

They've got most everything I needed. I've ordered the cab light kit and a tailgate light bar. Not sure when they'll be in, but I'll have pictures for when they are.

The cab lights are a fun to do. My buddy and I did mine in about 3 hours. The hardest part was drilling the big hole in the cab. Kinda point of no return.

That's what I'm really afraid of. I'm afraid of messing up and then I'm in big trouble. I'm definitely not a big cosmetic work person or fabricator. I'm going to college for diesel engineering, not collision repair or body work.

Its not that bad just follow the instructions and measure everything 2 to 3 times just to be safe.

i dont know about fords but on the dodges...the ones that didnt come with cab lights still have the holes precut in the under sheetmetal as to where the lights would go if ordered that way. just a way to keep cost down from the manuf, but it makes it a whole lot easier to do. its not hard tho and is a fun job.
