Does anyone know if the Late Chevy Style Cab Lights at Cabela's (http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/horizontal-item.jhtml?id=0019952521306a&navAction=jump&navCount=23&indexId=&podId=0019952&catalogCode=IE&parentId=&parentType=&rid=&cmCat=search&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fcatalog%2Fitem-link.jhtml.2_A&_DAV=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcontent%2FPod%2F01%2F99%2F5 2%2Fp019952ii01.jpg&hasJS=true) for $59.99 are the same as the Hi-Five (Pacer) Cab Light at Auto Barn (http://store.yahoo.com/rodi/higfivligkit.html)?

I like Cabela's. However, the consensus seems to be that the Hi-Five work well and I don't want to get something from Cabela's if it's not what I expect.

Thanks!Edited by: tundracamper

those sure look like the lights made by Pacer. I think they are the same, but not positive

There's nothing special about the Pacer kit (I got one). I suspect that all these aftermarket kits are being made in the same factory and just packaged differently.


I'd like to hear from someone who bought the $25 kit from Harbor Freight. It looked as good as any in the picture.

For what it's worth I called HF some time ago and had a gal lookup the mfr. in their system. She said the HF lights showed a mfr. of "American Manuafacturing" ... I agree, their all probably the same kit and your paying for the name on the pkg.

How big a job in the installation of these puppies?

Seriously, its not bad. I took my time and spent about 2-3 hours total. It's easy after you get over the paranoia of drilling holes in your roof.

Very Nice. Thinking about doing the same to my new 04. WIll probably need more than 1 glass of scotch before putting the drill to the cab roof.

One good thing about buying from Cabela's ... "satisfaction guaranteed"


I have been buying products from them for years and have never been turned down if I wanted to return/exchange any product. They do an excellent job at customer service.

As a follow-up, I ordered the lights last week from Cabela's. They are in fact the Pacer Hi-Five kit.

Attempted to order a set from Cabela's and got the following, looks like they are backordered:
