So all 2nd gens have the holes pre stamped in the roof?

Yes, they do, at least the wiring hole is.

3/4" hole? WOW, that's big


I believe the 3G trucks have a cab-light plug in the pass. A-pillar, but the 2G do not.

The 3rd paragraph in my DIY post (above) gives you the distance from the windshield's top edge, back to the factory hole location. You'll see it, plain as day, when you drop the overhead console and/or headliner.

My dad has them on his truck. Unfortunately when someone was installing his remote start did something to them as they don't light up so I have to get in there and fix them.

That's what she said...

I went with a 3/4 hole because I made the harness out of the truck. That hole is large enough to slip the light socket through. Made install / wiring quick and easy.

I also used SS screws for my install, I did put a dab of ultra black on all the screws before install, but nothing between the light gasket and the roof. Never had an issue in the 2+ years I owned it.

I want to but I'm not sure how to wire them up or for placement on the roof...

+1, Always scares me to do wiring, let alone the fact you would have to drill into the truck
