NEED HELP! 2014 Electrical wire connection

I am attempting to put my rinning boards on my new 2014 F-350. I have running boards from my 2005 and the instructions have you making a connection to the wire under the threshold, that wire is a BLACK/LIGHT BLUE STRIPE. I cannot find that color wire on the 2014.
Can someone tell me which colored wire goes to the interior lighting that I can tap into!
There was a thread that said there was a connection under the truck near the back and I do not have it. So I need to make the connection like they did on the 05 which ran across the floor behind the console/htr area and down through the floor.
I don't want to go poking into every wire in the bundle to find this so I am hoping someone out there can tell me which wire color is the one that goes to the interior lighting!

Too new for me, I don't have any diagrams for that model. You could pop a interior light socket out and see what color wires go to the bulb.

Still looking for anyone who can tell me what color wire in a 2014 SD F-350 controls the interior lighting circuit. I went to the Ford dealer where I bought my truck and couldn't get an answer through the service writer. He supposedly with a tech and came back and said he would have to contact Ford and find out what wire to tap into. I won't hold my breath waiting till he calls!
The driver side threshold sill plate has a bundle of wires passing through it. I am hoping someone can tell me which one of these wires goes to the interior lighting.
Anyone?

I looked at work, we have ALLDATA and they don't even have 2014 diagrams. The latest diagrams they have are 2012, and in those trucks it's a grey/violet wire.

Thanks Dave,
I'll check that out and see if I can find a grey/violet wire. Only problem there is I have a bit of color blindness and may have to get the wife to check out the color, .

Go buy a testlight that has the sharp end on it, and poke the wire and see if it works with the interior lights before you cut anything.
