I have a set of led step lights I installed, I just need to know how to wire it. I have a positive and a red and yellow wire from the lights. Yellow is for the yellow lights and red is for the door open light. Does anyone know what wires I would like to splice into?

Well, this has been fun so far, NOT. Placing the lights on the truck was no issue. 3M double-sided tape was already on the lights. The wire will fit into the small opening in the rocker and fender. I routed the wires into the truck through the rubber boot on the A-piler. (door to truck boot) I found the ground on both sides of the truck to ground the lights just pulled the kick panel to the side. The yellow wire is for the orange lights. This wire connects to the purple wire on the rear of the light switch which you must pop out. (see pictures) The orange side marker lights will only turn on with the running lights, if you want them to be on with the alarm or remote you will have to wire them to the front marker lights. I still can't find a wire for the interior lights, so the white lights come on when I open the doors. I will update once I figure it out or if someone else does first.

There is a wire in under the floor trim pieces that goes all the way to the cargo light. I tapped this wire for my bed lights and they come on any time I unlock the truck, open a door, turn on the cargo light. I can look tomorrow and let you know exactly which wire I tapped. it was either yellow with a green strip or a gray wire.

Interested as well.
Sorry for the delay, it is a white wire w/ green stripe in the harness under the sill plate. I tapped into it under the sill plate on driver's rear door. Hard to get a good picture of it.
