I am just getting started on my project and its been awhile since I have had a project. On my 89 the cab running lights on top of cab are faded,cracked and need replacement. Are there LED options? Other aftermarket replacements that are recommended?
thanks

I got exact matches to the O.E.M. Ford cab-lights at J.C.Whitney; my old ones were also all faded and sun-cracked.


I can't see why on earth everyone is so in love with all this LED junk; honestly, so far as marker-lights are concerned, I think they look el cheapo.

Travelling interstates at night, I never see a big truck or trailer equipped with LEDs that doesn't have at least one of them constantly flickering and winking like Christmas-Tree lights.

More often than not, half or more of the little "dots" within a light will not be lit, making the whole truck look un-kempt and neglected.


Some use the excuse that they require less amperage, thus better for the too-small wire that Ford used; but, I say just run bigger better wire like Ford should have done in the first place. ;Sweet
