L.E.D. marker lights on side.

I was planing on putting some marker lights (L.E.D.s) on side at running

boards. I was planing on tieing in at the tail lights or parking lights. I'm

looking for the best way. Thanks for any help.

What kind of LEDs are you talking about? Is this a kit of some type or are you talking about buying some off-the-shelf LEDs like you would get at Radio Shack?

The lights are 15 7/8" long. I'll be placing two per side on the molded steps
just below the doors. Here is a link to the lights.

L.E.D. lights don't drawl as many amps as regular bulbs, so could I run them(63.5" of lighting) as one connection with T connectors? I want to tie into either the parking lights or tail lights. I haven't received the package as of this post so I'm hoping to eliminate any potential problems(dim lighting,blown fusses).

You probably would get a few more responses over in the SD forum; this area is for the 6.0L engine.
