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"?

I think its so at night oncoming and following traffic will know that the vehicle is wider (80" wide or more). My dually has DOT cab lights, fender marker lights and DOT lights on the tail gate. It is most likely illegal driving without the tail gate. All RV's have DOT marker lights on the rear too.
Thanks to GordonThree and mileshuff for asking these questions- I had the same.
I've owned this truck for 3 years now and had no idea what they were for! I learned a while back that they were "DOT"-required, but not why.
I'd be most non-truck drivers don't know why they're there.
