Default Underdash lighting help

Looking to add some LED lights above pedals on drivers side and below glove box on passenger side. I have a 2008 F150 crewcab. Can anyone lead me in the right direction of what is the easiest way to get these to come on with the dome lights? Pictures of the wire, or where to tap into the fuse panel would be great. Thanks in advance.

go to this site and then find the section on the fuse box. i think its pg. 299-300 or something like that. It should tell you what all the fuses do there for letting you tap into the one that you want.

Here is a post i did a while back after i did mine. I'm not sure if I said this in the thread but for my add-a-circuit to fit i had to cut into the inside of the fuse box.

Edit: I wired it to a switch and not the dome light but I hope this helps

Found this link in another thread from a while ago.. I'm about to order these tomorrow for mine. They're extremely easy to install and the company has cheaper ones on their site for just a single color. They can come on when the headlights come on if you tap into the headlight switch- PM me for the color of wire if you decide to go that way- or they can come on by switching them on. If you're really fancy they have a microphone that can strobe them to music.
