Did all of them come from the factory with cab clearance lights! I've always thought they did! Reason for aking is I found one for sale that did not have the lights and I questioned the owner about it maybe being a hybrid truck ie... a 250 converted to a DRW 1 ton truck! Figured someone on here would know! Thanks for the help! DT

I think that cab lights were a factory option.

From what I've garnered....they were an option, not a standard item with any particular way of ordering a truck.

If you have doubts, it should be coded in the VIN. I'm sure there is a VIN decoder somewhere on here.

Any dual wheeled vehicle is required by DOT regs to have cab roof clearance lights and the 5 small clearance lights on the rear.

^dodgenstein is correct
All factory dual wheel trucks even to this day are required by DOT to have them. There are two trucks locally that were redone as duallies but with no cab lights I know thier secret. I looked in my 1991, 92, and 93 Dodge truck dealer brochures and everyone states that with drw clearance lights are standard equipment.

Yep, they're DOT required. It's the width...anything over 80" wide must have them.

If you look inside your glove box you should see this sticker.



They are required by law, so if a dually did not have them it would be illegal to drive upon the highway.

Also if you had packages in the bed and no commercial plates you could get a ticket.
So I am told.

Well I was wrong....I have no problem admitting that. And I learned something new...Thanks!!

Lunds Ram

I was wrong too, I guess I should install clerence lights on my dually, I'm thing some go recon lights for the newer rams

Thanks for all the help guys!

OH WOW! I want one of those decals!!! My crew cab dual rear wheel never came with one!! Perhaps because it's an 85?

I'm old enough to have lived through this particular change. The 5 markers lights became a requirement back in the mid-70's. I had a 59 GMC dump truck back then that at that time. I HAD to add 2 cab corner marker lights. Before this it was required to have only the 3 middle ones for recognition at night.

i would leave them off thats where all my roof rust started hahah

^Trust me a lot of trucks have the rust channel of death that doesnt have cab lights. Two in my family, a 92 D150 and a 93 W250. Both reg cabs though.
