On my old Dodge I used Well nuts to get rid of SM screws. The hole is a little larger , but uses small bolts instead of the screws . They’re a threaded brass fitting surrounded on rubber. When you tighten, they expand. Water tight too.

I know this video is pretty old. But you need to check out the boost auto cab lights. They would work perfectly with your AlphaRex headlights

to put it bluntly, ALL aftermarket cab lights/lenses are made incorrectly. the only hassle free option is to get the measurements for drilling the holes from a video like this, and then buy factory cab lights off of ebay/a junk yard. factory cab light housings and lenses have a slight curve in them to conform to the roof and sit flush on the roof, where all aftermarket lenses and housings are flat so they do not sit properly. to combat this, companies like Recon give you thicker gaskets so the whole housing sits higher to hopefully keep you from noticing the fitment issue. this leads to all the water deflection being done by the sub-par chinese gasket, where originally the housing sitting flush to the roof deflected most of the water and the thinner gasket just prevented any water that seeped under the housing from leaking into the cab.

Are the lights evenly spaced? It looks like the two outside ones have a wider spacing then the two closest to the center light. The only reason I ask is because I think it looks perfect.

@kevinford3083 4 жыл бұрын

Sorry just rewatched the video and you say the spacing.

the 2 outside ones are further then the 3 in the middle... just like OEM...

Hey Justin I know this is an older video. I was reading through the comments section and seeing that you aren’t really happy because you have an issue with leaks. Were you able to fix the problem? 🤔

@JUSTINHAWKSMITH Жыл бұрын

They don’t leak inside the cab , just the light itself gets moisture in them. They’re all still working just fine and still continue to leak.

@Doom6.0 Жыл бұрын

@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH Thanks for the response. I want a set of these for my Excursion. Would you recommend a different brand that you don’t think would have that moisture issue?

@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH My Dad was an Auto and Body Mechanic for years and I myself went through Paint School in the Military and can tell you that this is actually false. There's no component in Silicone (Rubber) that causes metal to corrode. Body mechs been using Silicone since (at least the late 69's/early 70s when my dad started out as a Body Mech) and was developed to use on Electrical motors and Generators. If it had corrosive properties, it wouldn't be used in many of the applications it was designed for and is currently being used on/in. You're good to go. Anyone who says that is either inexperienced, or are using invalid resources, or pulled silicone off from a vehicle, saw corrosion and falsely assumed that it was caused by the silicone. In reality, some people used to use Silicone to cover up corrosion, hoping that it was prevent the rest of the metal to corrode. This was back before we had things like Flex Seal or any other form of Silicone Rubber in a spray can. What you did was perfectly fine and better than leaving it without anything. Most installations I've witnessed do not go the extra step like you did and rely on only the rubber seals that the lights come with. These fail over time, repeating the cycle of getting wet and drying over and over, which eventually leads to those seals deteriorating and eventually coming apart. Good job!!
