5 or 7 cab lights

[PABowhunter]

Getting ready to put cab lights on my truck. Debating if I should put 5 or 7 on. Both would be evenly spaced. I don't like the stock cluster look in the middle. My buddy put 7 on his 99 and I thought it looked good. Wanted to see if anybody had any pics of trucks with 7 or 5 evenly spaced to help me make a decision.

5 fo sho.

 

[PABowhunter]

haha, alright. 5 it is. That's what I was leaning towards anyway. Any difference between pacer and recon?

 

[yeehaw]

5 definitely

They are recon it was easy to install and are pretty good lights

5!! If you don't like the stock look change the spacing.

Some have seemed to have trouble with Recon's but mine have been on the truck for about 4 years and I haven't had a single issue.

 

[powerstrokin15]

personally I would buy the OEM lights and just buy Recon lenses. but idk how much OEM ones would be.

5 lights with stock center cluster spacing. I dislike the evenly spaced lights, and really dislike more than 5, but to each their own.

As far as Pacer vs Recon...

I have installed probably 7 or 8 sets of lights on various trucks. I have had the most problems with Recons, fogging lenses, faded yellow color after several months on the clear lenses, screws that rust after a few months, etc. Holding them side by side, the Pacers seem to be a much higher quality feeling product. I never had one issue out of the Pacers I installed.

If you are going to do more than five, jump up to 25.

factory set-up is the easiest to install I did it on my 02 and it was a snap.

go w/ the recon, but get a set of the "smoked" lens. this will eliminate any issues that Recons have regarding plastics. I had a set on my F150 and never had an issue w/ them. Just use tons of silicone, both under and around all the screws, and nothing will rust.

i personally say go 5, and just change up the spacing. i did that on my .5T. I'll dig around for some pics of the install if interested... just let me know so I know to start diggin.

5 but why do you want to change the spacing? Lights spaced farther than stock look like someone threw harbor freight lights on it.

Yup, all of the Recon's I installed required gobs of silicone to prevent fogging. None of the Pacers I installed required any silicone at all.

I did seven evenly spaced on my old 02, thought it looked alright...
