Ford F600-F700 Truck Cab Lights

Frequently Asked Questions About Ford F600-F700 Truck Cab Lights

Will these cab lights fit my specific Ford F600 or F700 model year?

Most aftermarket cab lights for Ford F600-F700 trucks are designed to fit models from 1999 through current production years. However, there can be slight variations in cab roof profiles between different generations. We recommend checking your specific model year against the product description or contacting our support team with your VIN to ensure proper fitment. Pre-1999 models may require additional mounting modifications due to different cab designs.

Do I need to drill holes in my cab roof to install these lights?

Yes, installing cab lights on Ford F600-F700 trucks typically requires drilling five evenly-spaced holes across the cab roof. Each light housing needs a hole approximately 3/4 inch in diameter for the wiring harness. We strongly recommend using a template (often included with quality light kits) to ensure proper spacing and alignment. Professional installation is advised if you're not comfortable drilling into your cab, as improper installation can lead to water leaks.

What's the difference between LED and incandescent cab lights for my truck?

LED cab lights offer several advantages over traditional incandescent bulbs: they last 50,000+ hours compared to 2,000-5,000 hours for incandescent, draw significantly less power (reducing alternator load), and provide brighter, more consistent illumination. While LED options cost more upfront, they eliminate frequent bulb replacements and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Incandescent lights remain a budget-friendly option but require more frequent bulb changes, especially in commercial use.

Are these cab lights DOT compliant for commercial use?

Quality aftermarket cab lights for Ford F600-F700 trucks should meet DOT FMVSS 108 requirements for clearance and identification lamps. Look for lights that are specifically marked as DOT approved and include amber lenses, as required by federal regulations for vehicles over 80 inches wide. Non-compliant lights can result in inspection failures and fines. Always verify DOT compliance markings on the product before purchasing for commercial applications.

How do I wire cab lights into my Ford F600-F700's electrical system?

Cab lights should be wired to a switched 12V power source that activates with your parking lights or headlights. Most installers tap into the existing clearance light circuit at the headlight switch or fuse box. Each light typically requires a ground wire connected to the cab frame. Complete wiring kits include all necessary connectors, wire, and detailed instructions. The total current draw for five LED lights is usually under 2 amps, making integration with factory wiring straightforward.
