The marker lights are easy, theres a wire for them in the kick panel of each side.

I show them in this video.

My Running Lights - YouTube

The signal wires are a bit trickier, but I tapped into them under the dash coming out of the steering column.

Okay, that helps with the marker lights, what color/trace wire am I going to look for to tap into the signals?

That's alright I knew i'd get them wired in one way or another, hardest part was getting the wires through the conduit that connects the door andd body of they truck, any tips on how to make that easier? i plan on hooking up the heaters in them eventually. Also got some running lights and installed them today too,i think they turned out fairly well

I had a problem with running the wires too. I used the factory tubing. Too make it easier I bend the end over on its self and twisted it so that it was a dull blunt rounded end. That made it easier to push through.
