This is my first truck with cab lights. Is there an on/off switch for the cab lights? Are they led? If not, can I switch out the bulbs for leds? And does it have to be same temp/color ? Any laws against that?

OE marker lights turn on with parking or headlights. Assume they are incandescent. LED should not be a problem and I know of no issue with replacing the marker light incandescent bulb with a LED. Generally, use a colored LED to match the lens color, i.e. amber LED for amber lens, but white would be okay too. Following up, the Gen 4s have factory clear lens with incandescent bulbs, or at least my case for a 2016 Tradesman Power Wagon. I installed amber LEDs.

2021 are LEDs and you cannot change them out, they are integrated into the housing, not separate bulbs. And there is no switch to turn them off.
