Glovebox Light
I went ahead and purchased the glovebox light from Ford. After looking around, I cannot find where the wires are to plug into it. Did Ford eliminate the wires from the harness too? Do I have to run my own wires to get my $6.00 glovebox light to work? I was hoping I could just plug in to an existing plug.... Does anyone have any additional information to confirm whether there is a plug or not????

Your going to need a pigtail for it. I found one in an older 87-91 pickup. The underhood lamp is the same as a glove box light. If you search my posts you'll find we've been over this once before.

If you check out the 6.0 Tech folder it has a section called "Missing Items" Here's the link:

The part number I got for the glovebox light is: E7DZ-14413-A
Sometimes when ordering from online places, the spaces and dashes play a funny role.. Try it with/without them...
I ordered up mine through a online place called Directpartsconnection with a .com at the end... I checked a few other places and they SEEMED to be the cheapest on that part and among the others I oredered, most of which were on the list in the link above... I think another reason I went with them is that they had ALL the parts I wanted, which is important when ordering by mail...I think this is an actual dealership in AZ....Be careful if your considering the hood insulation... They have it at a good price, but shipping will put you overboard. Talk to them and they may work out a "package" deal....
(I have NO affiliation with them... I'm only trying to hold on to my $$$$)
Hope this helps...

When I installed my glove box light I just tapped into the cig lighter wires. Works like a champ.

Antacus is right. Pop out the mystery hook and you will find two wires for your cig lighter. Get a couple of wire taps and hook into those wire and with a spade connector on the light end and works great.

Crimsn Tide, I feel your pain. Traded my '98 Dodge Quad 4X4 for a new Super Duty SC, 4X4, XLT and, for almost $40,000. MSRP, no glovebox light?! Also, no visor light, no insulation on hood, no wheel well liners, no fog lights and no compass (all of which were standard on my mid-line Dodge).
On the other hand, I like the illuminated cruise-control selections when driving at night, the driver's side glove-box and really love the electronic combo-lock on the driver's door (though this last feature is an option). And who wouldn't be favorably impressed by that indispensable trash-bag holder? (Just kidding on that last one!).
