How do you do that?! I wanna do something like that. Would it be too complicated to teach me? Or not?

I'm just going to stick them under the lip, hide the wires, and run them out the front of the bed and hook it to a wire I hooked into my dome light a while back when I had everything apart lol I figured while I had it apart I might as well hook on and have a hot wire ready in case I ever wanted dome light power.

Oh, I could do all of that I'm pretty sure, but I don't have an extra hot wire from my dome light, cause I've never took everything apart that was smart though!

The floor lights are on a hidden switch under the dash, the LEDs draw so little you don't need a fuse.
where would you suggest tieing into for the cup holder mod if i never had factory harness in my 03

Should have one, I think all SCrews did. It may have just came loose and fell down in there. If not I'd tie into the floor lights.

Did you check for one? Because I didn't think I had one either until I dug back behind the cup holder. The bulb was blown and it was tucked away.

ill have to look again but when I had my cup holder out to fix the common spring problem on them I didn't see anything down there. I never did find my glove box harness either. But the spot for bulb mount is there on both

Well I switched from 3"wide/22"long tips out the back to 4"/12" 60° side tips and I don't like it at all. It's a little louder now, but it doesn't sound dirty anymore...
