Which wire?

Installed cab lights on an 07 F-250. After searching and searching, I couldn't find a wiring harness to just plug and play, so I have to wire them up myself. Does anyone know which color wire I need to be splicing into behind the light switch?

the harness you're looking for is deep inside the passenger side fender well. You almost have to break your arm to get to it, but it's there.

Yea you wanna go passenger side kick panel there is a factory plug for them. I tapped mine right in. There is a black for ground and the other is a tan or grey i believe)

It is nice to have a voltmeter when doing ANY electrical so you can BE SURE the wire is correct. Turn your ***** and check for 12 volts on what you want and nothing else you know.

Get the Ford factory service manual and wiring diagram....worth every penny. Service manual and wiring runs about $300 on Helm, they can be found used, got mine on Ebay under $200.
