NO Instructions how to wire the lights so I have to find somebody that knows about wiring and probably have to pay.-----WOW, Ill assume this guy needs toilets instructions as well. or I assume he may stick the wrong end in.

Currently a bit more than $30, which seems expensive. I'll wait for the price to come down and maybe for an amber option.

Is there a way to route wires up through fender without drilling any holes ? I have all my components and am ready to install . Just not to thrilled about drilling holes . I understand that the vents are functional so I would think that there must be someway to fish wires to engine bay .

Anyone else done this yet ? I am thinking to run to an upfitter , but am also considering wiring to running board lights so they come on and fade off with entry . Could really use advise on where to pull wire or last resort where to drill hole in recess ? Thanks

Got them installed today . I decided to hook up to running board lights rather than have them on with the headlights . I also didn't have to drill any holes , I dropped the wire down behind the door hinge and exited to the undercarriage where I ran them back to the harness on the frame rail where the running board lights are plugged in .



Hard to tell but the running board lights are on .

On to the next one ……

Looks good. My truck is Bluejeans Metallic and has the chrome package, but I'm considering the painted emblems.

Where are your running board lights run to? Do they come on with your parking lights or do they homerun to an upfitter?

Expect citations for equipment violations in many states for any color other than white or amber.

There is a small hole / opening to run wire to uplifter switch. Brown is ignition.

Here you can see the small gap to run the wire.

Bad night pic. But I didn't want any actual LEDs visible. So it's a nice subtle glow.

Are you certain? Direction of the light plays a role in many cases, yes?

Did you buy the Amazon kit or do it yourself? So no drilling is required I take it if you find the small gap. If you bought the Amazon kit was there enough wire to make the run from the passenger side over to the outfitter bundle? Looks great, thanks for the pics.
