Nope, we all do it ourselves.
A little clip and snip and run a few wires and that's it.
I put a set in my '04 F-250 when it was new. I had to swallow hard, but measure twice and cut once! My 3500 Dodge came with them, but it looks pretty much the same- no big deal, just a little cutting.

I was not going to trust some 20-something stealership fresh out of training parts jockey to touch my truck, so I installed mine myself. Most traumatic thing I ever had to do was to drill that first hole knowing there was no turning back. But I also know it was done right.
yeah there is no way I trust my un-mechanical self to drill holes in my roof lol
There is a place locally that does bed liners, lift kits, wheel install, graphics, etc. I know they would do cab lights. Surely there is a place around Dallas/FW that does that?...I would not use a stealership, period.
Im in the austin area and have done two sets; a 2nd gen and a 3rd gen. Still going back and forth if i want to install them on my current truck. The first hole is always the hardest! :rof Its really not that difficult of a job. If you ever make it down this way (or just want to come on down), have all the parts/pieces, and want to get it done Im down for helping out. :thumbsup: My driveway has seen its share of truck projects.
If u get recons they come with instructions hardest part is drilling the first hole once u get past that it's a breeze
If you want to drive to Gainesville I'll practice on yours... I mean do it. Just kidding.
Try posting in the texas section. I know there is a place in Lewisville that would probably do it but i dont know much about them.

Got mine put on at DFW camper on 121 in Haltom City. They did a great job on the part most people are scared of, (spacing/drilling) but about 2 months after the install the plug came loose on one of the lights because they didn't get it plugged in good. I had to pull the drivers side visor off so that I could get the head liner pulled down a little to get to the underneath and plug it back in. No biggie though.

its usually a good rule of thumb to cut off the cheezy plugs RECON uses and hardwire them in. :thumbsup:
I did mine myself, just remember if you do install them yourself measure twice and dry fit them before drilling. I was scared to drill the first hole. But they came out good in the end.

Shoot if you wasn't so far away I might would take you up that offerIm in the austin area and have done two sets; a 2nd gen and a 3rd gen.

The dealer sells the whole shabang. You get the lights, the wiring harness to plug into your switch, and the template to layout on the roof. It retails at $100. I want to do it to mine, I'm not nervous about it, been building custom cars for years, just haven't decided to start the fight with the wife over it yet, haha!
