A fellow tdr member put mine on. The directions are easy and comes with a template to make sure they are lined up. On a thread about this not to long ago it was decided the worst part was drilling the holes in the top of the truck. I think the cost was 58. 00 and some change. Had everything in the box.

Steve,
Just did mine two weeks ago. The only problem I had was inserting the pin (for power) into the connector behind the fuse block. After trying to remove the connector (this must be done to insert the pin) for about 45 minutes with no luck, I removed the lower instrument panel brace directly below the steering column. This allowed me to get my head and hands in there to see what I was doing. I think there were six or eight screws. This should save you some serious aggravation.

I ended up not using the kit I bought from the dealer, but the instructions sure came in handy. I made my own harness and used Grote lights instead.

If you are interested in the kit, drop me an email.

Steve, At a little get together of cummins owner a little while ago, some folks that had installed their owner clearance lights said to just pull back the head liner and you could see where to drill the hole from the inside. No template needed. Apparently the brackets that the screws thread into served as a template. Haven't done it myself yet, just passing it along.
