Arrow Running board lighting - Timed courtesy feature?

On the previous Super Duties (11-16) There was a circuit / pigtail stuffed in most of the chassis that guys could use to wire in lights to the running boards. This circuit was only hot for roughly 30 seconds (per my recollection) after the last door was closed.
Is there such a circuit on the new F150's? I would like to wire up some lighting like this on the new truck when it gets here..

Show us your running board lights either way and lets see how creative you got!

Not sure if the raptor get this but the Lariat and up have puddle lights in the mirrors that will take care of this.
As far as is there a wire, I can't help.

Thanks for the heads-up Scott...
I believe that the mirrors on the Raptor are the same as the std F150 Lariat ones..

I had AMP research running boards on the SD, the LED's on those were wired to the cabin lights thru the wiring in the door sills..... I'd think that would be an option on the Raptor also. Both sides would light up if any doors were open and would stay on same amount of time as the interior lights.
