How to Install Boost Auto Parts Cab Lights

Cab lights add style and safety to your truck, and Boost Auto Parts kits make installation straightforward for most modern pickups. Here’s how to do it right.

What You’ll Need

• Boost Auto Parts cab light kit (with all included hardware and wiring)
• Drill and drill bits (if your truck isn’t pre-wired or pre-drilled)
• Screwdrivers and socket set
• Measuring tape and masking tape
• Marker or grease pencil
• Silicone sealant (for weatherproofing holes)
• Wire strippers/crimpers
• Multimeter (for testing circuits)
• Work gloves and safety glasses

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Read the Instructions: Review the Boost Auto Parts instructions included in your kit for model-specific details.
2. Plan & Mark Mounting Points: Use measuring tape and masking tape to mark the cab light locations evenly across your roof. Double-check alignment before drilling.
3. Drill Mounting Holes (if needed): Carefully drill holes at your marked locations. Apply silicone sealant around each hole to prevent leaks.
4. Install the Cab Light Bases: Attach the bases using the provided hardware. Route wiring through the cab roof as instructed.
5. Wire the Lights: Connect the wiring harness to your truck’s existing lighting circuit (usually the running lights). Use a multimeter to verify power and ground.
6. Test Before Final Assembly: Turn on your truck’s running lights to test cab light function. Fix any wiring issues before installing the light covers.
7. Secure & Seal: Install the light covers, tighten all hardware, and apply extra sealant around wire entry points if needed.
8. Clean Up: Remove masking tape, wipe down the area, and enjoy your new cab lights!

Quick Tips

• Take your time with measuring and marking—straight, even lights look best.
• Always weatherproof drilled holes to prevent leaks and rust.
• If you’re uncomfortable drilling or wiring, consider a local installer.
• Keep your truck’s battery disconnected while wiring to avoid shorts.
