I got em and I love em! I'll look for the thread we have on it where I posted the measurements and locations on the cab.

Sweet.....thanks man, I must have missed the thread. :D

You like em better than the stock ones in our years?

If they use the same holes I'm in !! Although I just changed my factory bulbs to LED

Exactly, I think after reading a couple of other threads, we might have to make the holes a bit bigger, dosent make much sense but im gonna get a set in at the dealer and see if they look like they will. I will keep you posted.

Thread for installing 07.5 cab lights on 01-06 HD models. Will have to go thru posts.

Also check out my thread on install...might be some useful info for you here also....the lights just have to be moved 1 inch forward on previous to NBS models...

I already have lights on my truck but wondering if they fit already as a direct replacement? Anybody tried this yet?

X2 anyone?????

Hey deadsquirrel, I dont know anybody has done what we are talking about. I have been swamped lately with school, finals are in a few days but as soon as Im out early next week im going to the dealer. I am pretty sure they have a set in, if not I will order them but then I will see if they fit and I will let you know asap.

Maybe someone else will chime in and let us know too before.

I think the newer ones use a smaller hole in the cab, so if you already have the old lights you can't use the new ones.

Shoot, thats not what I wanted to hear! Thanks for the info though. I might still see if I can get a pair and check them out. I will keep you guys posted.

awesome... i really want to know if this is possible as i think it would look soooo good

I think the newer ones use a smaller hole in the cab, so if you already have the old lights you can't use the new ones.Are you sure the new lights use a smaller hole? I don't see how you could get much bigger than the the new ones, as the holes are large.

If they use the same holes I'm in !! Although I just changed my factory bulbs to LED

What mods did you have to do if any? does it make a huge difference in brightness? what part numbers do i look for and where can i order from??
i know, a lot of dumb questions ,but hey ,i'm an old guy thats still learning!!!

and it didnt work or? I might just order a set anyways and take a look on Wednesday, hopefully they backordered forever still

No mods were needed. I had 3 bulbs shoot in two months so I installed some 194a led bulbs into some 1/2" instrument panel sockets from auto zone. If there's not one near you most likely can find them on their web site. I would think any 194a led bulb would work just as long as you use those sockets.
They are indeed brighter but I have noticed you lose a little light transmittal to the sides-from the front it is quite a noticable difference

You need a larger hole as the old style ther was nothing hanging below the mounting surface and the new LED style has everthing seales inside and the acual plug in location hangs below the mounting surface. You can pull your dome light down and unplug the new style as the old style to unplug it you would have to unscrew the light. The light plug is the same. It looks differant but plugs in and snaps the same.

SWEEET, thanks man, Im gonnna run over during the week and order a set up. I will post pics when I get them in and HOPEFULLY they work

i too have asked this before , id like to change mine on my 06' 3500 daulley to the 08' s but i don't want to spend $100-200 before finding out, does anybody have a set of new one laying around and could measure them or make a drawing and id pull off one of mine to see

I should be getting a set soon here like my previous posts said and I will see if they work on the existing holes on my 06. I will keep you posted.

Still trying to get ahold of a set. I should have them very soon. I cant wait to see if they fit.

Update.....Just checking on wireing harness fitment and I should know within a couple of days how they work out....I know it can be done but just to what extent. Sorry to keep everyone waiting, just trying to trace vin/part numbers and find the harnesses...

If the new style works out for you do you want to sell the old lights ?

You got it....you wanna be first in line and dont worry, you will get a good deal?:rolleyes:

Alright, they finally are being shipped....after a while of dinking around my dealer has found me a set and they will be here "hopefuly" by weds and then I will see what the harness looks like compared to the new one. I think I might need a wire cutter....:D

the mounting is all different for the new light.

Thanks for the heads up but I like a challenge.....:D.......I say that know.....As long as the holes are too big then I should be good just harness issues...

any update yet on the lights?

x2 ! I'd love to do this mod! Then take a pic and send it to Recon and tell them to shove their junk lights up their ..........

I will have an answer GUARANTEED by the end of this week! The dealer "said" yeah I will give you a call when we get them in.....needless to say, no call but they sent me a letter, WTF, they couldve saved 30 cents on a phone call. Anyways, I will pick them up early this week and keep you posted, HOPEFULLY with pics on the truck...:D if all works out.

Thanks Bro! Next time Let Eric order them, he should have some pull ;)

Give us an update as soon as you can. I hope you can make them work I want those cab lights. I'm not scared to cut wires either I'm just concerned about mounting them since the screw locations will be different.

That probably would have been a better idea and I probably would have had them already....plus the traveling time would be cut down from 10 minutes to 5! :D The dealer owes me a couple of favors though....;)

Its not a matter of making them work its a matter of how much work...:D I think I will be able to make them work with a little bit of work with harnesses and then once I get it figured out you guys will have a decent working diagram to base off of....as to what to cut and not to. I'll keep you guys posted, the pics wont be of much if I get em on my truck, its kinda stripped....;)

Hurry up will ya, I'm waiting for your old ones :D

A little anxious....:rolleyes: I finally got them in my posession today, guess what the dealer did....hmmm, sent them back....:mad: Its freezing and snowing so gotta keep an eye on if im plowing or not in the morning but yes, im going out to the barn and cranking up the heat for a bit ripping some things apart....:D I shall keep you updated, looking like the harnesses are gonna be my biggest problem but lets cross our fingers and maybe if things "go good" they will be on soon, like by the morning...hopefully....

ohh, here they are......;D

good night to start i gues.......and yes it will be the cab lights...:D

I'll be back with a report in a bit, probably more than 5 minutes though...:D

do they fit?

Thanks 06Dmaxpwr, Please Dont let us Rush you! Were all just excited to see how they look. Its cool to have a "factory smoked+ LED option" compared to the other crappy choice. about how much do these lights run? Keep us up to date! Thanks.

I have ordered a set through my dealer, they have the outside 2, but waiting on a harness and and the middle light. My truck doesnt have cab lights from the factory, so I have to drill some holes. I am pretty excited to get 'em on though.

Alright guys....good news and bad news....

First, EVERYTHING IS LOOKING GOOD....as far as the lights go. Suprisingly the lights fit in the origional holes which kinda suprised me with a little finagaling( Didnt get to the middle bar though). Second thing is that the harness hookup is also....the same....I then thought this was too simple. I almost knew that they wouldnt turn on because of the LED's and how and where it is resistored from the power supply and where exactly the power clips are. The clips into the light are almost exactly the same so just for the heck of it I plugged em in, of course it didnt work but they were almost the exact same clip. PICS BELOW...the bad news now is that while I was on top of my truck....:D the damn power is gone not so bad...if it where summer! but its below zero and that barn got cold, AND QUICK. Anyways enough yapping. I will go and grab an elec. diagram from the stealer in the morn. after plowing cause we are getting dumped on again..... but I think it is going to be a TON easier than I thought. I will grab my VM and see the power running and go from there too. Sorry for the slight delay but I have attached a few pics of the clips etc to show you and the snow on my work truck after 10 minutes, yes 10 minutes...:rolleyes: sorry again guys...but I will get this done VERY QUICK

ohh, and Tim, as far as price goes, I got them pretty cheap IMO for around 115 bucks i think, i threw it on the account but im pretty sure thats what it was....not bad if you ask me.

Pay day for sure...:D Running one truck behind though, only can run 5 out of 6 plows.....damn PMD on the salter is bad...:D

but yes, the lights for sure are gonna be easy, they fit nice and the harnesses have to be "slightly" adjusted from what I see, not too bad...Sorry for this guys but once im done plowin I will get back with you guys....

Tim, dont know if you have any sort of a discount from your dealer or anywhere else but I can probably pick you up a set and ship it out if you cant pick em up for that price, I get free shiping so no problems there.

You dont happen to have the diagram from the old body style do yah...:rolleyes:

Its weird, the new LED cablights have about 50 different harness connections, kinda stupid if you ask me....
I was looking at the part # from the harnesses and they dont give you specifics.


thanks for that one, it will help me a ton more with the voltage issue, i think im haveing.

how much of a voltage difference could there be? Just wondering since I changed mine to LED. I could see a problem if you tried reg bulbs on an 07.5 + but not this way.

Thats what im looking for....I just want to make sure there isnt some sort of inline resistor of some sort or some new fangeled device on the NBS harness ... just to keep them in tact....:rolleyes:! I dont forsee any problems but just wanna stay safe. One thing I dont get is that now that I have figured out what is pos and neg why dont the actuall LED's ignite on the board....? This is why im thinking there might be an inline resistor or something similar somewhere along the line. My dealership has an extra harness from the NBS lights so I may try to hook it up to the block ip, (unpluging the stock harness) and see if i can get light on the new bulbs...:D Dosent make anysense why it would make a difference but we will see in a while here. I think it is something simple but thats for me to find out I guess....

Bump ;)

A little off topic I know..

But, who has put on the 07.5 Cab Lights on a classic body style? I got a set but want a hint of what they look like..

Guys just an update, waiting on a different harness....for some reason I have the same harness connections but no power is to the LED's....kinda screwey but Im gonna try and hook up another 07.5 harness to the block IP and cross my fingers, Im hoping just new connectors spliced in will do the trick....I will keep you guys upadated, dont worry......:D

Im going to let the dealer quote me on the install...

I don't want to have to drill a hole in my truck..:D

I don't want to have to drill a hole in my truck..:DIt's quite possible you could have more talent (and for sure going to care more) than the person the stealer assigns to do your work! It's really not that hard. If you are un-comfortable with it, lay it out on the roof with masking tape and draw it up like Dutch did. DO IT.....DO IT:D

You may want to try and reverse the wires in the plug where it goes into the panel on the passenger side of dash. When I installed mine the harness would not work either....I switched the wires around and presto..they worked. ;)

I wanted to try this but "according" to the wiring diagram and the extra harness at the stealer the wires were "right".......:D still dosent mean anything though! Do you mean you just flipped the plug where it goes into the pillar or the actual plugs connecting the lights, I guess it really dosent matter but flipping one would be nicer...? I will give this a try in a day or two.....

when i looked at the other harness the ground(black) was on the side where the clip that locks the connector in was....make sense....:rolleyes:

I will say the new style lights look SWEEEEEET on the Classic style trucks, YES, i finally got around to making them work....Bad news is, you might have to wait till thursday for me to get pics up and get them actually mounted and actually hooked up but light from them I did see...gotta get the drill out a bit...., maybe or just might 3m them down and see how that turns out......

....and Tim, I'll send you an email in a little while and let you know about the lights!

Thanks for your patience guys.....sorry it took me sooooo long but it seems like evertime I "need" to do something it snows EVERYDAY......but I guess the snow pays for me to do it.....:D

what do you think you will have to drill/modify ?

what do you think you will have to drill/modify ?

The only thing that I found is that the holes for the screws themselves are a little bit off. I have to make sure that the other holes are covered up and I can put some sealer over them and go from there. From what I see the old holes are covered up on both side ones! I did however switch the wiring around and they did have power according to the VM. So I then hooked up power to one and boom, lights were on. I hope to have them soldered, im gonna cut and solder, not splice just for kicks and longetivity. Then I will at least put them up there and put up the pics.

Very cool! thanks for update, hate to be the bugging type, just excited to see what/if they will work and how they look.:)

What was the problem?

Alright guys....like I said on thursday there would be an update. I have fiugured everything out......finally.....something that should only have taken 5 minutes....:o:

Anyways, all the lights turn on and stay on when the wires are flipped. Just cut, flip and resolder/heatshrink em.....the only thing is is that the holes that are drilled for the lights are not the same. The left and right can be covered up by the LMM lights but.....the center old style one was wayyy to large and cannot be covered up what so ever....thats the bad news. im gonna still probably do this because it does make your truck look soo much better! I dont know if its just me but they dont look as good on the new trucks as they do on the old style but just my .02.... but i think i will just get the holes filled and roof painted again...maybe just a portion if possible not to get noticable lines. Sorry for the bad news all.
