Wiring up cab clearance lights?
well i finally got into the ebay mode and bought a set of over the cab clearance lights that I want to install soon. so i had a few questions
1) should I install theses in parallel or series.... obviously series would be easier, but is that ok?? I only ask cause I figure they draw very little amperage
2)Can I just piggy back a relay off of my driving lights so that they come on whenever my other driving lights are on?
Just FYI, they are amber lights and I have a wedgewood blue truck. Thanks in advance!

You better be posting pics when you are done. As I'm planning the same mod...on my deep wedgewood blue truck. Series should be fine. Are they LED clearence lights?? What kind of lights are you going with?? I wouldn't think you'd have to relay them...I'd fuse them lower than what the parking lamps have.

oh man that is awesome! I will be sure to post them as soon as they are on. No, they aren't LEDs....regular incandescents. I got them off of ebay... from a store called like AMV lighting or something like that. They look like this...
Don't know why pics aren't working but click on my photobucket below and see them...

well, I really like them... maybe the pics make them look bigger (the base is like 4"x2"), or maybe I am just different cause I know alot of people DONT like them, but i think they're cool!! but yeah, they are the ones styled after the newer fullsize chevys i think. They are going right on the roof, i think the visors look kinda doofy on a ranger

Alright dudes.....we went through this about a year back......and it's a hate-it/love-it thing. The smoked/clear/tinted ones are from RECON, the same folks who make those really nice LED third brake lights.
I put the same clearence lights on my free-to-me '88 Mazda B2200. It looked sweeet.
