Default Questions regarding adding bed lights

I'm in need of some bed lights now that I've added the tonneau and it blocks out the cargo light. My truck did not come with these:


After watching a video about it, it looks very easy, however I noted that these don't come with any wires. My truck has the tow package, rear lamp, etc. so I believe it is pre-wired for lighting, but I still would need this, right?



AND




It doesn't seem like amazon sells these wires? I am reading the comments on the lights, and in the questions, people ask for lights and the sellers just say "ford sells them". I am thinking Ford will probably want $100 each or some inflated price. I was unable to find the cables on rock auto, either. The only place I could find the first cable was asking $70. Seems like a lot for a 1 foot cable, especially when you can get both LED lights for 15 bucks. Does anyone have experience adding lights (not replacements with existing wiring)? Do I just have to bite the bullet and pay a dealer or is there something online where I can get the cables for 30 bucks or so? Thanks very much.

looks like pictures from the starkey products webpage. If you buy their kit you will have all you need.

I've got the lights, I just want to buy the wires. And hopefully for less than $70 for a foot long Y connector, too...

I'd also be interested in buying that "Y" connector separately. Looks very clean. Please keep us posted if you find it.

Where did you see it for $70? Never mind -- I see it now on the Starkey website.
