Clearance lights

It's been slow in the superduty forum so I thought i'd do a poll

Roof clearance lights on F250/F350..love 'em or hate 'em

I love them

[Fordwheeler]

I love them but not too sure what they are for?

[Northern Supercrew]

always had them on my older f150's from the 90's. they don't look good to me and add another light to burn out.

[Stainless]

Im in between, I love them on huge trucks, say 40 in tires and above, but as regular truck, bah. not for me. I installed a set on a 1500 and they looked *** as hell!!!

Sometimes, yes

[BMac]

Its not a real truck without them!

[Bush_aholic]

I love mine, but their fancy smoked LED's. I might not have a SuperDuty, or 40in tires, but I'm just as tall as a SuperDuty with 35" tires and a 6" lift on it, so I think I qualify. I made my boss so jealous he's adding some on his lifted 250, he didn't have them stock.

Clearance light's are meant to give oncoming traffic a better perspective of the size and position of the oncoming vehicle(in order to clear it....lol).

I have never liked them, my last 3 Super Duty's did not have them. My current truck was pulled from inventory so I ended up with them. Really didn't like them. Added the Ion Chrome Putco lenses, now I'm kind of liking them. (wow 5 "thems" in 3 lines, not bad :) )

on a duty the more lights the better:)only problem is they are the first thing to get smashed going into covered parking!

[Duty calls]

Actually the antenna hits first...its like a feeler gauge...lol

accept at shopping malls with that stupid pipe that misses the anttenna and rattles across the roof of the truck (99 s/d)all you edmonton boys know what i'm talking about west ed!!!

[dwh]

I agree with others that it depends on the truck. Stock - no way. All done out and beefy - it fits.

[BMac]

If you have a dually by law you need them because of the vehicle width I believe, so generally they come on 1 ton's and up (unless you specify otherwise for a srw), and its an option with 3/4 tons

I love 'em too, they give the truck a "truck" look. They look real good too with a set of air horns in between them! I think they look especially good on the Dually trucks with all the extra lights they have.

[Phil G.]

Oh my. :icon_eek:

[Duty calls]

Clearance lights lovers out in force

[shelbyx1]

also lets you know which end is up when offroading;)

[LayinHp]

also reflects the snow nicely on the hood..... get that haloween feel at the wrong time of year lol

wasnt a fan but my trucks got them plan to chane them to smoked LED look


what looks funny is the side mirror LEDs they stick way out in no mansland

[blackacres]

I had a black, 78 F-150 4 x 4, with the factory 4" lift.

I bought it used from a good friend and he ordered it with clearance lights, as well as some other nice options.

I really liked the looks of that truck. When I saw my black 06 SD in the lot with clearance lights, it was 'love at first sight'!!!!!

I agree, a lifted, done up truck with clearance lights looks right.

[510guy]

all three of mine have them, but they do look better on the duallys.

[tjpete]

Love them. My did not have them when I purchased so I bought up some of the Recon smoked ones. Haven't got the courage or the time yet to install.

[James3889]

This is my first post on this site, so hello everyone. If you goes with cab lights on a non cab light truck ( like i did with my 2000 PSD) id recommend the LED Recon lights for the dodge rams(03-07 i think). they are slimmer and arent like those triangle clearence lights on the sides of older school buses.
Heres a pic of mine: I also put the outside lights closer to the outsides of the truck, i didnt like how ford has them on the inside of that groove in the cab.

Doesn't matter to me if a truck has them or not but I do like them personally. I'd probably have a set on mine if I were to buy a SD, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it though. Driving truck for a living I know the importance of lighting and being seen by traffic around you, so do I support vehicles having as many clearance lights as realistically possible and using them both day and night, but I hate folks who drive around with auxiliary driving/fog lights on for no reason - guess a lot of people don't realize what it does to oncoming driver's eyes, especially when they've been behind the wheel for hours on end. I usually carry a bucket of rocks in the truck to take care of them.. LR

[T-LAV MRV]

I'm gonna look at those recon lights for my SD, then figure out how to get the headliner down so i can wire them up.

[Duty calls]

I wish my Excursion had clearance lights.....its on the list

[lumberjack]

Just gonna toss this out here how do you guys feel about the lund visor with the led lights in them ? I think they look good and do the same purpose as the cab lights plus the visor cuts the sun out when needed .

[prairiethunder]

Recon is the way to go!! I think those Lund visors look shitty, no new truck should have that on it. Toss some recon smoked clearance lights up there and your good to go!

[lumberjack]

I was just wondering not gonna do the lund visor on my truck, I do think they look good on older trucks tho

[prairiethunder]

they do look real good on the older trucks for sure. had one on my '89 for the longest time, wired some lights in myself.
