Glovebox light mod
I purchased the glovebox switch and bulb from the number I got in the tech folder. I could not find the part number for the wire that powers it however. Anyone who added the light to an 04-up superduty have this part number? And where does it connect to the harness? 
Mods so far:
Fog light on when brights on- easy
Harpoon the tank-pain in the rear
Zoodad-easy
New HFCM drain plug, new style-easy
New wheel well shields-easy
New engine blanket/ hood liner- easy
Fumoto drain valve-easy
Cigerette lighter plug in bed-easy
Front hitch install-moderate
Now working on the glove box light....
Next mod is to put 350 blocks in rear suspension...
The truck is just about right now.
I just wish Ford would have done it right the first time and we wouldn't have to spend all this time and money to upgrade the truck to what a truck should be.

I have a set of wheel well sheilds in my garage. I bought them one week after I got my 05. I couldnt figure out what was missing till this farmer I know said something. Strange. I just need to put them on. They are from ford.
Are you telling me my glovebox doesnt have a light? I guess the console is so huge I dont use the glove box. Hmmm? I think if they save 5 cents here and 3 dollars there...they can afford better buisness trips to fancy golf courses.
I still love my truck.

Yes there are a number of things Ford quit putting on the trucks in 04. Hood liner, wheel well liners, glove box light, etc.
The hood liner I got off my old truck that was bought back. The wheel well liners and glove box light I got from Ford.

If anyone has the part # for the liner/wheel well guards/ box light that would be awesome.
How did you wire up your bed cig lighter, that would be an awsome add-on. Do you have a picture of the finished thing? Maybe even a regular outlet run off an inverter would be nice too. Anyone done the inverter thing?
Thanks

The part number for the wheel well liners are in the tech folder under things missing from the superduties.
The cigerette lighter plug I bought at wal-mart for about $5. I bought the metal one as it exactly the same size as the hole in the bed stakes in the corner of the bed. It slipped right in. I then took off the tail light (which allows you to see everything in the bed stake area) and ran a ground to a nearby screw. I then ran the hot lead to the power supply in the trailer wiring harness. I used a wire that is hot only when the key is on as I have a bed cover and I'm afraid I'd leave something on and wouldn't see it. This way it won't drain the battery. I'll work on pictures.
I forgot to mention in my first post that I did the Marinco block heater plug mod too. Not too hard.
