Please share more information.

I've been considering doing something like this once I get my running boards installed (too cold right now). Either that or it'd also be nice to have some sort of light strip that helps for ingress and egress to see where you're putting your feet. Not a concern for you Lariat people with your fancy mirrors, but us XLT and XL people don't have that feature.

Also curious for my XLT
I have identical boards
How did you mount and wire ?
Can you give a briefing ?

I am interested in how you did the wiring as well. I was thinking about installing some "puddle lights" to my XLT. Just need to find out which is the correct wire to tap into that will have the lights activate when i unlock the truck and then shut off when I get in and drive.

I just did my bed lights in the cargo wiring
Works exactly as you need
White and green wire under passenger rear door panel

I did the same thing but ran wires up to parking light wires so they are on whenever my parking lights are on

I agree with the1mrb.....Please share more info. Where did you get them? How did you run the wiring?

Do you have the link where you bought these from?

 

[srgredranger]

Got my lights at etrailer.com, I only had to buy 3 because I had 3 left over from another project. 3/4 amber led

I got mine off amazon. Put them on a separate switch so I didn’t need to have them running all the time.

The setup looks great! What brand are the running boards?

Hi Jeff,

Ordered! Thanks! May never find the Round TUIT to actually install but will have them on hand!

Where did you splice into the wiring for the lights?

You drilled a 3.4 hole into the brackets?

Yes, drilled holes in them. Then repainted so no future rusting.
