Installing Ford Factory Cab Lights on 2016 F-350 - Detailed Installation Sequence

[@michaelsunsdahl5874]

You should do a how-to video to explain to everyone else how to do how-to videos! This was so well done.

[@ILC-eo6vk]

Right?! Awesome video

[@mlhva3831]

I thought the same thing, best how to video I've ever seen

[@TheOdiesel]

Very professional!!!

[@CollazosGarage]

Brother! ^^^^ what they said! lol

[@dducharme1126]

Just called my local dealership and all your part numbers are still right! Thanks man!

[@Lonewolf3165]

This is exactly how it’s done! I’m a professional technician myself and this gentleman does it all correctly. Very good video of a job well done.

[@mikekossman5616]

Just what I needed to realize I want to pay someone to put my cab lights on lol. GREAT video tho seriously probably the most informative yet understandable video I’ve seen... thanks

[@Freedomisntfree24]

I love precision. This is the best video I’ve found on cab lighting. This is exactly how I want to install mine. Plug and play. Excellent video sir. Very helpful.

[@mach4x92]

Thank you for making this easy to follow video! I was able to install cab lights on my 2013 F350 with ease! One thing I recommend is wait to take off the bottom part of the b-pillar until you take the bolt caps off the top part. It's not fun when they fall straight down and you have to find and fish them out

[@whoever2719]

Just did mine today. The wiring harness is the wrong part number for a 2012 king ranch. The correct part number is BC3Z-15A404-B everything else was spot on. Thanks for making this video

[@endoskeleton99]

One of the best how-to videos I have ever seen! Beautiful explanation and video on every step. Thank you!!

[@dougkubash8673]

I was a mechanic at a GMC dealer in the late 70's and I installed cab marker lights on 4 or so brand new trucks that were not ordered with them. At the time you could order a kit complete through GM with a template for the holes. Your video brought back some good memories! Keep the videos coming!

[@gssngr]

This video is exactly what I was looking for! Wanted to do my install as OEM-like as possible with all factory parts, and you’ve enabled me to do exactly that. Thanks!

[@shawnpruitt1914]

I’m rarely impressed but you sir, are impressive. What a perfect video. I will say it is horrible how easy you make that look. If you were local, I would pay you to do mine! Great job!

[@williamgiampa4783]

Your Video is absolutely one on the easiest to follow best how to videos I have ever seen! Great job. Thanks

[@GreenbrokePete]

Cannot thank you enough for this video ! I’m installing a pair of Klein air horns and a set of LED cab marker lights.. NOT FORD. LoL. Seriously you did a great job here. The magnetic parts tray to catch the metal burs ? Awesome

[@Ranger4banger]

I'm about to do a cab swap on my rotted 6.0 and the donor cab doesn't have cab lights. I'll be swapping mine over. This video was perfect, thank you.

[@joshuayoung4841]

Spectacular video sir! I want this done to my 2016 Platinum, but was hesitant till I watched your video. Now I’m pressing forward with confidence! Thanks!

[@williamsantiago7303]

I went ahead and installed my cab lights. I followed your instructions and everything went perfect. Thank you so much for this video buddy, take care friend. 👍

[@robertharris4034]

How long a project was it?

[@williamsantiago7303]

@@robertharris4034 4 hours tops and that's because I took my time measuring the holes twice and running the wires. I imagine there's some out there that can do it in less time like maybe 2 hours. There is NOTHING hard about this job, it's simple but just a little time consuming and that's it.

[@1milazzo]

Amazing detail. Amazing video. You made this job easier with the part numbers and measurements.

[@kevinf92]

Excellent video! Just the right balance of showing what needs to be done, and skipping all the non-essential stuff.

[@mustang774]

Great video, very clear instructions. I don't even own a truck but I watched the complete video and several of your other lighting videos. I'm going to add additional lighting to my kayak trailer and I found your videos very interesting for this purpose.....Take care, Bluefin.

[@RzrRippin]

What if I have a platinum with the sun roof and the sliding rear window? Do I need a different harness because of those features??

[@baykay9559]

Excellent video. Just enough talk for good instruction. Not too long and not too short. Thanks!

[@chrisjohnson8604]

This is absolutely the most informative, instructive and well put-together youtube video I have seen, and I have watched a lot of them. Thank you sir.

[@midmomarineservicesllc7187]

Hands down this is the best how to video!!!! Well done sir!!!

[@tutekohe1361]

Excellent job Squatch! 👍 I wish all dealer mechanics were as conscientious as you!

[@tomfromtacomas7249]

Excellent video! my truck already has cab lights, but it was such a great video. I wanted to watch it anyway.

[@UnitCrane514]

I don’t have the guts to drill holes in the roof of my truck like that! Fantastic job, if you didn’t make the video you would never know they weren’t factory installed!

[@jav_eee]

Squatch253 I agree with you! Been drilling holes for ham radio antennas for years. I don’t even measure anymore.

[@richmeyers425]

Just found video as I had to replace a cracked clearance light. Was able to do the job in under an hour because of this video. Nice Job...

[@rogercarrico4975]

Very nice job! Beautiful truck too! Takes nerve to drill holes in the cab roof of your truck! 😄

[@johnm4579]

Great job bro ! you must have a lot of patients to take this all apart, there is a lot involved, don't know of I could do it. Well done !

[@Tremorcat]

This video is extremely well done. I was looking for a previous generation of truck but ended up watching just because it was so well done.

[@johnleavitt2315]

Duuuuuude lol....great tutorial ....one of the best I've seen on YT ...Seems like you've had training giving instructional classes , either that or your just unusually skilled at detailing and explaining tasks . Great job .

[@purplemartin2233]

Beyond me how anybody with any brain cells could give this video a thumbs down. Great job well done! 🤜🤛

[@MrDethStroke]

Thank you for this video. I used the original harness and put to extra wires in it. That's not as clean as your installation but it worked very good.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

You got the rig- doll 'er up! Sure am glad it's YOU doing this. I'd just pull a Red Green and duct tape 5 cheap flashlights to the cab but I'm not that industrious. I know a guy that used a flashlight with red cellophane taped to it for a tail light for hauling hay after dark. I think the local law knew him too and just let him go on and not get involved with a fire or an explosion if they didn't have to. My x Uncle-in-law said if you didn't believe in a Higher Power, just ride with that guy or just be around him for a while. You would! FINE JOB on the Big Boy!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I had an x-uncle-in-law that had an old Dodge with a worn out fuel pump cam and he built a scaffold over the cab, mounted the tank on it and gravity'ed the gas to the old flathead. Ran it that way for years. And another old drunk used the windshield washer bottle. Enough gas to go get beer and back home. Takes all kinds I reckon!

[@thats_Mr_B]

Not what I plan on doing but similar. damn the detail and ease to follow is 5 star so I feel this comment will do well to support the channel

[@regsparkes6507]

Looks good ! I used to mount all kinds of 'driving' lights on my trucks too. Best thing was that they were functional.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

YAAY!

[@nkwelchalk]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video outlining the steps you took to set up the lights. Very informative and fun to watch!

[@MrShankspony]

Gives me a great idea of what I am getting into if I want to install on my truck. Thank you and well done!

[@TerribleTerry5]

Hello my friend, I was wondering if I could bring my 2019 F-150 XLT over, would you do mine like that. I live in NM. I could be over in a few hours LOL. But I really like your style of work. You are very meticulous & professional. Everybody should do there work like yours.

[@aquagmier]

nice work, i appreciate the PNs being included in case i want to go that route

[@stevemedrano5105]

You did a fantastic job and such a professional installation! You are HIRED! Great video.

[@edtooltime1957]

Nice job on the video very detailed greatly appreciate it I'm in the process of buying a truck from Texas that has no cab lights on it and I like the cab lights so this will give me a good idea how to install them thank you again

[@lamarcusmaple6961]

Got dang awesome video. Just what I need. Thanks brother

[@hommie789]

I hope you have better luck than I do with those lights. I have the 2013, same thing, and the lights rip off from the wind when driving on the highway. I have replaced each light as it rips off at least 6 times each and looking today my center light has a small gap between the cab and the light which is the indicator it is going to rip off in a week or two. The studs in the light pull out of the light base assembly, and before you ask no they are not over tightened as I even got the torque spec and tried a few actually torquing but now i am back to just using a nut driver.

[@nohowtoplz1]

Not to take anything away from this masterful job but you must be a Ford mechanic. I mean, you did half the job one handed. Ha. Thanks for the video.

[@Docstantinople]

I did this on my 2012. Thankfully I had the sunroof so it made it a little easier.

[@ronwhitehead8195]

Did you need a different harness with the sunroof?

[@rorarycummings1380]

What were your measurements with the sunroof?

[@marshallmattis6160]

Great video, very well done. I plan on doing this to mine based off the great details.👍🏽

[@ProWindowz_Inc]

I just finished installing a flasher for my clearance lights on my 2019 Super Duty, they flash as intended when auxiliary 1 is on, but I no longer have power when off. I’ve checked the fuses under the passenger kick panel and they are all working fine, I did find that no power is reaching the connector on the A pillar passenger side, is there another fuse to check, manual doesn’t specify which fuse is for DLR lights. They look great and excellent job on the install.

[@aliveandwell2078]

Thank you Squatch! I just did the install and it was a snap. The longest part was soldering up a wiring harness. A cheap upgrade that looks pretty damn bitchen!

[@samueljohnson3499]

Those cab lights look pretty cool. Awesome job!

[@josey414772]

My truck has factory lights. I wanted a video on how to install led lights. But I was so amazed about how smooth this dude is removing stuff. Hahaha I eneded up watching it for no reason cause it doesn't help me at all 😂😂 Most people will damage all those plastic pieces.

[@wesdoyle209]

Very meticulous Squatch253 Great tutorial,Great instructions, you did an awesome job explain in detail the steps for complete installation.. I have a 2015 F350 with cab lites. The little tab on the base is broken on two of the Factory OEM and one base is cracked, I have a roof leak coming from one of them this video should help me. I didn't know that the roof lite bases had nuts on them. This video showed me what I needed to know.. I have a diesel engine with dual batteries,will i need to disconnect both negative posts?? Thanks again,

[@alardon1126]

Beautiful installation!

[@1925sk]

Just saw you video on the cab lights, and after a little research discovered the wiring harnesses have either been discontinued or aren’t available.

[@Dfour]

Very good video on this install

[@voodoo8796]

I saw down the comment list that this won't work for 17+ super duty's. What a bummer. Still a great tutorial.

[@RagingRudolphDiesel]

They use a more square, flat LED based cab light that actually has a more complicated square hole to cut.

[@johndoe-bk3de]

amazing the cost and labor to do this, its like a $90 dollar option when buying new

[@Rider-nb5ts]

john doe not gonna lie I’ll give you 90 bucks to do it....then if anything gets creased it broken it gets replaced.

[@RagingRudolphDiesel]

@@Rider-nb5ts A local shop quoted me $150/hour plus tax plus parts for 5 hours.

[@cheswic]

Wow! You really wanted those lights.

[@robnewell6727]

Very well done! Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@Nick-gi6ym]

Professional job well done. Hopefully you do other truck projects. Thanks

[@carolinebrown4249]

Absolutely fantastic video and perfect details! Thank you Squatch253!

[@hunterziegler4253]

Extremely well executed video. Appreciate the thoroughness!

[@scottjones5254]

This is a good damn video man! Appreciate you 👍🏻

[@hooligangeneral300]

Good video. Wish someone would make one this well for an 04 F250.

[@TonyLasagna]

that airbag light can be a real son of a bitch. Nicely done! I love the templates you made. Luckily my 14 350 XLT with the 6.7 i had remembered to order them when i was placing the custom order almost ten years ago now…, and i just swapped out the bulbs with LED and blue shells to match the truck. I did switch the mirror marker/blinker lights as well to be smoked out in a similar fashion. Someone destroyed one of my entire mirrors (which is hard to do with these), and the back housing was essentially gone, ordered a whole new mirror from ford and it came from Australia! With the new one on, I am starting to miss the amber on the rest of the truck a bit. Might have t use these part numbers and totally do a refresh this way.

[@wilsondominguez9906]

great detailed video thank you

[@MrMiltonGuy]

Job very well done!

[@QuaabQueb]

Very nice video, and well done using OEM parts. Yes halogen is antiquated but the LED kits out of china are crap, they are made with bottom of the barrel recycled plastics which do not hold up to UV wear. The LED chip is an all in one part, so WHEN it stops working you need to replace the entire thing.The other benefit to halogen lamps is they melt snow pretty quickly during the winter. If you really wanted LED's then for a couple dollars you can order a pack of led bulbs from china. When doing vehicle upgrades and modifications, using as many OEM parts as possible gives the best quality installation and look.

[@JosephRajewskiWIII]

I would use only the high end LED from Osram (Austria).

[@voodoo8796]

Great job man! Very impressive detailed rundown. Being a Ford employee do you know if this process is the same with the 17+ super duty's?

[@JosephRajewskiWIII]

The light design switched to a flatter, squarer LED version .

[@edencantu1]

Very good video Sr. Thanks for sharing

[@RUBICON7313]

All I can say is he WANTED those lights! Job well done on description of process, now if you could do a video on deleting a 2016 diesel the same way you done this video

[@frerichs191]

Amazing video

[@Gearjammerslammer]

That’s rite it’s your truck cause I’m going with the Ford standard on mines ... nice job

[@DavidPRO50545]

Would a truck with a sunroof be a different part #? I have 2016 Lariat Crew Cab with a sunroof. I've looked up a truck with a sunroof and cab lights and the part # matches. What does the sunroof plug into? Thanks bud

[@bmxbarron]

very good video, saved and will be used for when i wanna try this on mine

[@ronwhitehead8195]

My 2015 lariat has a sunroof. Is that going to be a different harness?

[@MrTONYTONYM]

I let the dealership added the roof lights on my ram; definitely a huge undertaking and my truck spent two days in the shop.

[@jeffquinn5653]

MrTONYTONYM What did that end of costing you.

[@mallardmob]

how much was it?

[@carlconn3963]

One of the best videos I'v seen.

[@CraigTamminen]

What's that black bracket part for at 7:10 on the roof for? Drilling holes tomorrow

[@JosephRajewskiWIII]

Awesome video.

[@jeremykrall6767]

What did you do to keep the lights square from front to back?

[@davidbramel345]

That is a sharp truck! Good job!

[@roydorshimer4920]

Great how to video. But would love to see a typed out parts list,

[@nathanhoskins6486]

Well done mate, you did a fantastic job. So well explained.

[@WilliamWallace-z7w]

Can you tell me whether I can add can lights to a 2013 F150 Platium and utilize the same plug & play wiring harness you used ? I’m being told that in order to put cab lights on the above mentioned truck… that wires will have to be ran and tied into other electrical components on the truck which I did not want to do. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

[@squatch253]

The harness will very likely be a different part # for the ‘13 but you shouldn’t need to run separate wiring for the lights - because the roof clearance lights were a factory option in ‘13 that means a factory harness should be available for them. The only reason you wouldn’t be able to get one would be if that harness has been discontinued, but I think it should still be available.

[@WilliamWallace-z7w]

Thank you very much for your response .But I’m wondering since yours was a super duty 150… is my ‘13 150 platinum gonna come with the same wiring that will allow me to just buy similar wiring harness and plug it into a “junction box”like you did ??? And lastly, if you could possibly direct me to proper website or give me contact info so I can order my parts same place as you… you’d truly be my hero. Again, thank you very much for responding.

[@chrisfoster1808]

Nice job I just bought all Ford stuff to do my 2005 f350 that way haven't purchased the nuts yet though kinda steep on the price for bolts.

[@scottsplumbingservices3913]

Nicely done! How much would it cost if you had dealer install them?

[@cattamcr]

If you still have the truck what's the measurement for the satellite nav. antenna from windshield edge and side of first light? Installing antenna and lights. Thanks.

[@MrCjhsc2]

I'm curious. I have a 2011 f250. I want to put on the power folding and telescoping mirrors. What exactly do I need. There is hardly any information on it

[@IttyBittyPsychoKitty]

Nice job squatch. Just got a used 2016 that I’m going to add clearance lights to but I do like the led’s better. Can u tell me if they would plug directly into the Ford factory wiring harness? Thank you sir

[@jimkolm9287]

Just curious as to why you chose not to run any silicone fir extra leak protection?

[@artadams1]

awesome video, I think I'm going to add them to my truck. You made it look easy enough.

[@daveharmon8674]

Does Ford make a wiring harness for my 2006 Expedition for Exterior cab lights? If not where would be the best place for me to tap off of? Thanks.

[@mendozacous]

What an amazing video. Thank you so much for posting!

[@tbirdage]

Very nicely detailed!

[@philchovanec9967]

great job. 2 questions 1, is the part number for the harness the same for a 2019 King Ranch and , question 2, process is the same with the moon roof? Thanks

[@jacobedgington2685]

I have a 15 model powerstroke xlt and my running lights on my mirrors don't work as well as my power mirrors. Tested the voltage in the pins on the connector for the switch and had no power. I'm guessing my issue is upstream from the power mirror switch. Will the cab lights have power if my power mirrors don't is basically what i'm getting at here. Also have you had any issue with the cab lights leaking?

[@jennablythe8728]

Quick question, I know the lights follow the curvature of the windshield but does each light point straight "front to back" or do the point perpendicular to that curvature?

[@tookey2249]

Do you have a photo of where the actual harness end plugs into? Where is that located? I have an 08 and was looking to do an OEM install as well. Thanks

[@gdenney78]

Very well done, this seemed like a factory instructional.

[@Giuseppe-rs4hk]

There's an echo in the room... Very well done!
