i have on 2002 F-250 XLT and when I got my truck I noticed that my door lights were never lit up at night when the door was open. I was disgusted by this and talked to my neighbor who owns a garage/towing business. He said fords are notorious for putting bulbs into the light sockets on these trucks. Don't ya know I took the covers off, put some bulbs in, and that was that.

 

They deleted the door lights and began calling them reflectors effective 12/2/02. A complete list of these changes - referred to as "Key Order Guide Changes" effective 12/2/02 is as follows:

- Change from Lariat Floormat w/ logo to Lariat Floormat w/o logo - 7/15/02
- 2nd row storage net on Supercab no longer available - 7/15/02
- 5.4L Badge no longer avilable - 7/15/02
- Change from 78-AH CCA Battery w/ gas engine to 72-AH CCA Battery (Date TBD as of 12/2/02)
- Auxillary Springs - Standard with 5.4L changed to Available with 5.4L only with Camper package, Snow Plow Package, MAx front GAWR & Heavy Duty Front Suspension Pkg, - 11/4/02
- Drivers side Vanity Mirror standard on XLT changed to Not Available
- Dual Sunvisors on Lariat chagned to Single Sunvisor on Lariat
- Hood Blanket for XL Trim changed to not available
- FRONT DOOR COURTESY LIGHTS CHANGED TO COURTESY REFLECTOR
- Map Pockets with Carpet changed to Carpet Not Available (Posters Note: Not sure what the heck this was supposed to mean - probably means no carpet in the map pocket - at least that's what I think it means
- Integrated Leather Head Restraint changed to Integrated Vinyl Head Restraint

This all comes from the "Marketing Strategy and Mix Recommendations" that were published by Ford for the 03 F-250's. My copy is dated 3/1/03. I have it for the 03 F-350 as well. It was available on the net somewhere - sorry don't remember but I found the link here a while back. If anyone is interested in the whole document I have them for the 03's in PDF format.

Below is the link for the 05 F-250's. I believe that you can change the F250 in the link to F350 to get the F-350 document. The 04's may still be available by changing the year in the link to 2004.

Anyway, hope this sheds some light (no pun intended) on the subject.

 

No..i just grounded it to a bolt on the door then ran the + supply wire to the dome light wire which is a black wire with a blue trace located on the drives side under the plastic floor trim to the left of the drivers seat(wiring harnes for the truck runs under there along the floor) then ran a wire from that under the carpet up and thru the pass side kick panel thru the rubber thru the door to the pass side light ..now they come on when i open the door.
