Frequently Asked Questions About International ProStar Cab Lights

What years and models of International ProStar are these cab lights compatible with?

Our International ProStar cab lights are designed to fit 2008-2017 ProStar models. However, compatibility can vary based on your specific cab configuration. ProStar models with day cabs, sleeper cabs, and extended hood versions may have different mounting requirements. We recommend checking your VIN or contacting our support team with your truck's year and cab style to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your experience level. You'll need a drill with metal bits, a center punch, masking tape, silicone sealant, and basic hand tools. Most cab lights require drilling new holes in your roof, so precise measurement is crucial. Many customers recommend using a template or carefully measuring from reference points on your cab. Professional installation is advised if you're not comfortable drilling into your cab roof, as improper installation can lead to water leaks.

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

LED cab lights offer significantly longer lifespan (50,000+ hours vs 2,000 hours), lower power consumption, and better visibility in all weather conditions. While LED options cost more upfront, they eliminate frequent bulb replacements and reduce electrical load on your truck. Incandescent lights are more budget-friendly initially but require regular maintenance. Both styles are available in amber and clear lens options, with most DOT regulations requiring amber for front-facing lights.

Are these cab lights DOT approved and compliant with regulations?

Yes, all our International ProStar cab lights meet or exceed DOT FMVSS 108 requirements for clearance and identification lamps. They feature proper SAE/DOT markings on the lens and meet photometric standards for commercial vehicles. When installing, ensure you follow DOT spacing requirements: lights should be spaced as evenly as practical, with the front lights as close to the front of the vehicle as possible. Always verify current regulations in your operating states, as some jurisdictions have specific requirements.

What should I look for in terms of build quality and weather resistance?

Quality cab lights should feature polycarbonate lenses (not acrylic) for impact resistance and UV stability. Look for sealed, waterproof housings with rubber gaskets rated for extreme temperatures (-40?F to 185?F). The mounting bases should be sturdy ABS or aluminum to prevent cracking. Stainless steel screws resist corrosion better than chrome-plated hardware. Many ProStar owners report that lights with sonic-welded lenses last longer than those with glued seams, especially in harsh weather conditions.
