I got them on mine pretty straight forward. Just make sure you mock up the holes before you drill them

ive put cab lights on my last 3 trucks and it really is simple. 1- mock up your holes . 2- remove the pillar covers and visors .3- once removed the head liner has h-d velcro right in the center at the front peel it loose then drill your holes and wire them up.....

Ok guys i got my headliner down an everything marked out for my cab lights. Now the directions say drill 7/8 hole for center an 1/4 for anchor holes. But first do they need to be that big. And second should it have like inserts for the mounting screws cause mine doesent

Just drill small and go bigger if needed. If I did it again I probably would only drill the wire holes and use self drilling metal screws to mount them but thats just me

That's what I done was use a 5/16bit and drilled 3 holes for each one.... The way I look at it the smaller the hole the Less likely it is to leak...
