Cab lights install on a 1500 Ram Sport with sun roof.

[Lex]

I was wondering if anyone who owns a Ram 1500 Sport Black out Canadian Limited Edition with Sun roof, has ever installed after market cab lights?

Not your exact model but he does have panoramic roof. Checkout this video if your interested in look of lights or wireless light option.

I made a PDF Template to help me add them to My Laramie. I do
not have a sunroof on my truck but I know the large center holes
for the wires do miss the front sub frame of the roof. Please double
check for your applications and light's mounting screws. PDF File
is 24"x 60" for two copies.

Thanks guys. I appreciate every reply.
I don't want the wireless option as they are way too expensive.
When I look at the wireless ones I really don't see almost $500 worth of materials there.
For me, I just see a convenient design and someone wants to charge way too much for them....... No thanks.

I purchased some after market Cab lights and would like to know if anyone has installed these type of cab lights using Pure copper flat 16 AWG speaker wire as to not require any drilling?
To clarify, I want to run the power to them from a flat wire (+-) to each cab light and have the flat wire running outside and enter in through the driver side weather stripping and then
tap into a power source under the dash some where(I'll figure that out later. no biggie).
I would also cover the wire in between each cab light with plasti-dip white as my truck is white to conceal the power wire..

I hope you can catch my meaning.

Thank you people!

How would I go about printing this PDF to proper size with a normal printer?

I went to a Reprographics place that Prints Blueprints. It cost about $5 to Print
in Black and White.

I"ve seen the new solar stick on"s be a great add for your clearance lights

Looks great do you have a link to the light kit you purchased?

Does anyone know for those who drilled aftermarket lights to the 1500, what wires to tap into. I bought recon ones made for the 2500 and watched the video, and the wires the guy tapped into are not the wires I have behind the glove box in the 1500. Does anyone know which wires correspond to the same functionality as the 2500 as shown in install video. Or what did others do to wire them up to turn on when headlights are on.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm working on adding some amber parking lights to my grille and need to find a suitable place to tap into. The under hood fuse for trailer parking lights is a large MCase fuse and isn't able to be tapped
