How To: Putco LED Dome Light Install

[xlofnktax]

So Putco just released LED Dome lights not so long ago, and they do a bunch of specific applications which go up to $100 bux, but they don't make one for my truck. I got the Universal kit (2.25" x 1.25") for it in the biggest size they got. From the displays we have here at Stylin, and the videos/pictures online, they look badass and can't wait til I put it in my truck today.



Well got the light on my desk today since I had to order it, and had the dome light, so here's the install so far, pre installed in the Dakota.

Hpw did you get the five lugs to bolt up.

by not buying 5 lugs :jester:

I ordered blanks with a +40 offset and had them drilled to my lug pattern. I can get most wheels from playerwheelgroup.com which have a cover over the lugs in blanks and custom drilled.

Interesting, what about the hub centric was it blank also. Do they offer any light weight wheels. +40 offset that is back spacing right if so what does the back spacing measure.

yeah, it fits and rides amazing. i need to retighted the rims soon because of it being new, which u should do with any new rims after 50 miles.
i donno what you consider light weight.
