Default Roof marker light spacing

Guys...need some help from someone that has the OEM Roof Marker Lights. I plan on installing my own, individual roof marker lights, but, I want to space them the same as the factory lights. Obviously one is dead center, and one on each side roof rail, but I need a measurement from the centerline of the center light, to the centerline of one on either side of it. Thanks for the info, and I promise to post pics when complete.

I'll take the measuring tape to mine this afternoon if it isn't raining...

For those who pop in to read this between now and then, has anyone ever put the ones on the back? I know there isn't an OEM kit for the rear, but it seems silly to put them on the front like the H2 and not put the ones on the back as well.

If you have done it, where did you find red lights that matched the OEM front lens style/type?

Duncan.....I plan on doing the rears as well. For the lamp assembly (everything I'm using front & rear are LED's), here is the link:http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs...tentryId=32116 For the base (in black), here is the link:http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs...tentryId=26686
Thanks for your help!

I'm getting amber Recons for the front. This version also comes in smoked.

Yep. This is measured at the base with a normal tape measure. The OEM lights are all the same size. You may want to adjust if yours are not 3" wide at the base. The leading edge of the lights on the outer pair are 1" from the windshield and 1.5" for the three in the center. Hope this helps.

Here is what I threw together in MSPaint...

Glad to assist. Post up some pics once you have it done. I'd like to see how you do the back.

Sorry but do you need to drill in installing those marker lights?

Thanks
