Know this has probably been beat to death. I'm looking to put some LED light strips below my door on my crew cab to light the running boards up when the doors are opened or unlocked. Just wondering where to find the hot wire that works the light when the door is opened. I don't have the puddle lights in the mirrors. If any has picture of how to do this or how it will that would be helpful too. Also what would be a good light to use?

 

The wires you are looking for are behind the side panel passengers side foot well, had to tap off them for my power steps.

 

Do u know which wire it was and did u have to run a wire across the inside of the truck or did u route it under the truck?

 

I tapped into drivers side dome light. I think it was purple with a white tracer. Mine will come on with the unlock button on the key fob and time out with the dome light.

 

K thanks I'll check it out

 

i plan to do the same as soon as i can find some ip68 led lights


plan to use these




anyway you want to tap the puple wire inside the green plug in the passangers kick pannel this way they will come on with the dome lights


i used JP's instructions for the foot well lights (post 14)

used the screw that holds the fuse box as ground

 

Where are y'all running the wires into the cab at? Through the firewall?
