Question How to tie under dash lighting to auto panel lights?

Does anyone know a fuse or tie in location for some after market under panel LED lighting with the automatic panel lights? I bought a couple of 12" blue LED strips to mount up underneath the drivers side and passengers side foot wells, but can not find a friggen fuse for this auto light sensor to tie into. I have pulled almost every fuse, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jason

Under the door sill there is a grey wire with a purple stripe somewhere in the mass of wires under it. The plastic piece just prys off and you can splice into the wire. Depending on the yr of your truck it may be on one side or the other. On mine (2011) it was on the passenger side but my dads (2009) it was under the driver sides.

since you are putting them under the dash you could just go to the headlight switch and pin 2 grey wire. this is for the parking lights. check out my thread on how to do it without splicing or cutting the oem wires.
