I am planning on five smoked led. As far as the spacing I always thought the evenly spaced cab lights on obs style trucks looked better than the cluster on the super duties.

But I've only seen a couple evenly spaced lights on super duties. Just thinking outside the box. Maybe I'll stick with factory spacing.

when i threw them on my .5T i went w/ a slight variation... I moved the outside lights out about 1" each, then I kept the center light centered, and moved in the 2nd & 4th .5" towards the center than factory. I also made the the outsides sit back just a bit more than the middle 3. lemme dig up a pic...

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

After doing some research this may be the best option. Probably will cost a little more up front, but looks like they'll hold up better over the long run. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but I read somewhere to replace bulbs on recon lights you have to drop the headliner again instead of just taking the lens off.

You would have to to be a me to unplug the recons. I went with ten because everybody has 5 lights I wanted to be a little bit different but that's just me .

Recons are LED. You more than likely wont replace them, but if need be, you just remove from the outside, pull the plug through the roof, plug in new one and resilicone everything on that light you jus pulled. But again, they are LeD and should be good for a long time.

my recon mirror lights on my original mirrors were the biggest pos ive ever spent money on, part of the leds quit working in less than a year, had to glue the lens back on the driverside n recon wouldnt do a damn thing on warranty

Saw an oBS around here with Chebby cab lights, the single bar in the middle looked alright

The 07.5+ GM lights with the low profile led bar is killer, I installed a few of those for others, sadly my 01 and 03 2500HDs both had the oem 01-07 lights, which had a larger footprint the newer smaller lights wouldn't cover, so it would have left screw holes exposed.
