Cab Lights Self-Installed
Me and Kris started installing my cab lights tonight, all went well for not having a damn templete to go off of, so we used his truck for a few measurments but made afew adjustments, all and all looks good, one problem, first we had the connecter to the lights on the driverside then realized that it is supose to be plugged into the passanger side under the glove box and there was SUPOSE to be an empty connecter there to plug into, AND THERE ISN'T anyone have pictures of lights they have installed them selfs with the hook ups or can tell us how? were planning on connecting them tomorrow if someone could get us a little help, thanks a bunch guys!

What I meant was... where did you get the wire harness? Is it a Ford OEM part? Did you purchase it from a dealer? Ford does not sell a "kit" to install the lights. Some dealers put together a kit but the components are all seperate part #s.

I think you either need to a) buy the correct harness for your truck that has the extra wires for your overhead console and the extra 5 nodes for installing the cab lights, or b) just ground the black wire to a roof support and run the second (brown) wire down to your parking lights on the driver's side. (If those are the two colours in your harness - I'm guessing you bought it on ebay?)
The cleanest would probably be to get the proper harness for your O/H console and cab lights and then you just replace the existing harness and it is plug and play on the passenger side.

They're probably wedgelock pins. Remove the lock bar from the back of the connector, and push the plastic retaining tab for each pin back and pull the wire out.
