01 Excursion Lighted Running Board Replacement
Anyone have opinions on what running boards to use? Westin looks close to the OE ones but any other lighted options others have used? TIA

Apparently YYMV... I installed the boards myself but had a local shop do the wiring. It took them 5 hours to do it (I was quoted 2) and the total came to $400. I told the lady about it and the tech came back saying it was pretty difficult and we agreed to 3 hours total ($240) once all was said and done. Was a bit miffed as money is tight (when is it ever not?) but since nothing was in writing I just took the "deal" and left.
FWIW install of the boards themselves took me about 2 hours but then again I've never done it myself and all of my tools are in my basement so making trips makes it worse.
I'll more than likely leave a negative review online as I wasn't offered a Cuban or an espresso much less a Newport and Texaco coffe!

i'm in a similar boat as you, my truck needs new running boards. I was thinking about going with a set of Smittybilt nerf bars and simply putting in some LED's under the truck hooked up to the factory courtesy lighting pigtails. If I end up doing that I'll be sure to put it in my build thread.

I'm pretty sure Westin was the OEM for the factory running boards on the Excursion so those should work fine. Just be mindful that the listing above does not include brackets, which will add around $150 to the total price.
