: Wanting to purchase cab lights...fitment question

I have been wanting some cab lights for a while now but don't like the GM style lights with the bar in the center and the two outer lights. I have seen a local HD with 5 across the top that were separate. Is there a specific type I need to get ie: ford, dodge, etc so I can have 5 separate lights? I also want to know if they come with a pattern to show where to drill the holes to be precise since my truck came with no lights. Has anyone installed them with the onstar antenna on the truck? Would the driver side light interfere with where the antenna is mounted? Sorry for the many questions but thanks!

That writeup is pretty helpful but I guess the only thing I still don't know is what 5 piece light kit to purchase that will fit on my truck. I am just wondering if there is enough of a difference between ford, dodge, older gm cab light kits as far as the curvature of the bottom of the lights to the contour of the roof. I just want to make sure I buy something that will fit flush onto my roof. For all I know there may not be enough curve to make a difference between the big 3 brands...

I got the '98 era body style ones on mine and I like em better than the newer ones. I actually just ordered LEDs for em just a minute ago. I got the clear lens that are opaque...kinda look a little blue people say.
