The fact that this guy sells a high $ wiring harness for this purpose tells me there might not be an OEM harness available. You might try calling him and picking his brain a little to see what options you have to make it work. LED Bed Light Plug & Play Harness (Ford Super Duty) – Limitless Autoworks LLC

Oem harness

Hi I did find a harness as below from a 2015 mine being a 2020 but cannot fine the official drawings with part numbers to confirm, I did see that I would have to reterminate the Earth under the spare tire

the only issue then is if this harness works with a newer truck, I also found the switch for 9$ used also

Non oem install

Below are some instructions for a non oem install which I like except the splice into the harness. Will have to visit Ford to see what is in the parts diagram

Those instructions are for a F150 and are different than the link posted originally. There are better ways to make wiring modifications than the way they are recommending.

2015 Super Duty's had a bed light option? I didn't think that option started until 2017 on the SD.
