Certainly!
My truck is a 2013.... Not sure if it's typical on all of our 2009-2014 year trucks or not, but you can tap into the light switch dimmer wire which the color on mine was: PURPLE (solid purple).

NOTE: Please keep in mind that the OTRATTW LED's are not recommended to be dimmed down using any other rheostat other than Autometers led dimmer module unit. This purple wire is capable of dimming down not only your dash lights, but these LED's on the aftermarket Carling/OTRATTW switch. Please keep your dimmer on full to not harm the LED's on your switch.

IF you want to dim down your OTRATTW/Carling LED's, then it's recommended to tap into the dash wire hot (either at the footwell or fuse box.... TBD) and, again, purchase Autometer's dimmer module (part # 9114) to dim your independent LED's on the switch. .... Otherwise, tapping into that purple wire at the light switch works just fine. Simply reach your hand behind the light switch, disconnect the end & you'll have plenty of slack to pull it out from the side dash access panel to tap into it.



7/11 update & Note:

Update on the lower led light.... Some models may not have that purple wire & possibly even have a "warning label" from ford to NOT splice into!!
(Thank you fseries54303 !) as his is a 2011 with this label & with factory remote start.

So... The best option is to take your lower led wire to Fuse #40 at the pass kick panel which is the rear park lamps. Fuse is cold unless parking lights or headlights are on. That's the winner for the blue (lower LED) wire.
(Thanks again Steve!)

Look at what the mailman brought me today! Gotta say KustomFX is awesome to work with. Not only is he easy to get ahold of but he puts together one heck of a package. From the install instructions, to the template, to the product itself. A+ on it all. Now I can't wait to get it installed and figure out which lights are up first!

Hey Brett!

Got the new one today and just installed it. Just have to find out where to hook the blue wire up to, and get another add a fuse for the usb charger.

Thanks again!

That looks great!
On the blue wire that lights up the lower LED's.... Post #221 above will show you where to tap & some information. It's easiest rather than running a wire over to the fuse box on the pass side. Just keep your dash light dimmer at full bright as to not harm the LED's. If you use your dimmer, then there is another wire at the bottom of the kick panel, or run it to the fuse box dash light circuit.

Looks great!!

There is an edited/Update on running the lower led wire in post #221....
Some years may not have the purple wire & possibly a warning label to NOT splice into. So some models & years it may or may not be able to tap into the dimmer switch...

If that is the case, the best recommendation is to run your lower LED wire to the pass side fuse box and tap into the dash/parking lamp circuit. (As listed in the updated post).

Thanks again fseries54303 ! Appreciate the input & help! You're the best!

Hope the info helps everyone too!

Yep, thank you again Brett!

(Note, I don't have the dual usb hooked up to an add-a-fuse yet, but will tomorrow)

In reference to post #221 if anyone was wondering, this is what my headlight harness looked like.
