does yours have a lighted door panel?..

I noticed on my 06 sc 250 a lense on the inside of the front doors that doesn't light up when you open a door.I pulled the lense out thinkin its just a reflector but there was a hole that looked like it would house a light harness .I noticed on my friends 250 that his lights up.Anyone have an idea on this one?.. btw im not sure of his year 250 i think its a 2000

around '03 or '04 Ford deleted a bunch of small items to save bucks. Glove box light, underhood blanket, etc. You can add the lights yourself.

My '06 F-250 SD has just the reflectors too. If you want a light around that area - there are running-boards/side steps you can buy that have the lights that come on when you open the door (Westin Step Board).

Is the wiring already in the door (for XL models)?

So the wires was already there? Did you have to splice or did they just hook up?

On my 2000 Lariat, the front doors have both a light and reflector side by side. The rear doors only have reflectors. I do have a glove box light and hood blanket.

At least all you guys w/ newer trucks get those cool upfitter switches, and I'm jealous of those.

Some trucks have the wires already run for the door lights, and you just have to add a bulb socket and bulb. Others have nothing but a hole in the door, and you have to set up everything from scratch.
