purpose of roof lights?
Why do 3/4 and above pickups have a row of lights on the roof, but not the 1/2 ton? What purpose do the lights serve, other than working-man's "bling"?

The 3 center lights indicate a width of over 80" the 2 outer lights indicate the corners of the wider load.
There is also a height requirement IIRC, along with, you could special order them as an extra. Sometimes in the past, a camper special would have them also, as this would be required due to the overall width assuming a bed camper was installed.
For some, I can see this as bling, others of us, a requirement depending upon HOW we are using the truck and trailer.
