Default cab lights?

The other day I got a center cab light for free its an led 3 light one its blacked out and my jeep is black so if I put it on I feel like it wouldn't be very noticeable if I end up not liking it. Good or bad idea

Cab lights are for 2500 pickups and up. I think they look silly on anything else.

Why do 2500 pickups need them any more than an XJ?

One lone LED center light is kinda useless. You'll look like a service call technician. Even it out with a small outta set and maybe it'll look better

US DOT and Transport Canada regulations for clearance markers are as follows:

Three high-mounted forward-facing amber lamps indicate the presence of a vehicle 80" or wider

Minimum two high-mounted forward-facing amber lamps must be placed at the edges, or as far as pratical, to indicate the width if the vehicle.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish here.
