Cab clearance lamps.

I know the place. Worked there very briefly in the late 90s, right after retiring from the FD.

Which FD were you with?

HA! Most retire up here and go down there.
Goodguys- I'm obviously going with it. I'm just making sure I do a good job. Instead of silicone, I'm contemplating the use of butyl tape or window weld.

Grew up on Long Island, after 21 years of sun and fun, moved back home. Also, I hated hunting in the warm climate, too many damm bugs. .

Last year we went to WDW (via ram) in AUGUST. Never again. Toooooo hot.

Update

Friday, I installed the lamps in anticipation of "Sandy" that will bring lots of rain. The old lamps were stuck down to the roof really well and the screws were LOOSE! I'm thinking that the water was coming in that way, through the screws. Anyway, I cleaned the surface with a detailer spray, and put the new ones down. Here are a couple of pics, including the box with number. The old lamps had a foam gasket that tore easily when picked at, the new ones are a type of silicone. The new ones DO NOT have a black band at the base.

Those look like the old ones I took off. The new ones have a gasket that goes up the side and also covers the screw area.

I too used the 4th gen clears, as I think they look much better on a white truck. My OEM's were the cheesy foam seal, but never leaked. No issues with screw holes.

I just siliconed my screws and gaskets when mine started leaking. It is not real pretty, but the silicon is cheaper than a set of lenses.

I did that too but eventually I could see moisture in the lenses - I think they were cracked.
