Underdash light hookup
So, yeah

I bought these

http://i6.ebayimg.com/01/i/02/f8/b1/98_1_b.JPG

I don't have a service manual handy for the trucks (I have car manuals). Could someone direct me to where these hookup from the dash wiring, and screw under the dash? I have several small holes under the dash on either side, I'd like to put these in the proper location.

The dash lighting wires are light blue/red. The 'Courtesy lights' mount near the doors under the dash - in a square "hole" if your truck is equipped. They aren't hard to make.

Got it, found a plug that this harness went 'in between'.

Interior lights up like a Christmas tree now.
