Your thoughts on cab lights

I stripped the paint on the roof on my 76 over the weekend and removed the cab lights that were added in the 70s by the original owner. I was going to replace them with the newer style flatter looking led cab lights but now I am thinking about just leaving them off, any thoughts?

Lifted, go with the lights.

Lowered, go without the lights.

Re: Your thoughts on cab lights

Cab lights look good on 3+3's, 3/4 tons and 1 ton trucks and duallys. They just don't look right or "correct" on anything else. JMHO.
