There is a connection that is suppose to be located where Kris stated. They also offer a harness that plugs in to the overhead console area, if you have an overhead console, according to my local dealer. Do you have a template that shows where to drill the holes for the lights? I am wanting to install a set, but my local Ford dealer doesn't have anything to show me where to drill the holes. I know that there is a web page that I have bookmarked on my other computer, can't remember the name right now, but I'm looking for more info before I do the install.

There are 2 Totally different wiring harnesses - 1 for an overhead console and 1 for no overhead console. They install took my around 5 hours with some help from my girlfriend. Get a knockout bit and it will make things 100x easier!!! Measure twice, Cut once

I had my neighbor drill the holes in mine. I couldn't bring myself to do it on my own. Look in my gallery for some pics of it. I did it about a month and a half ago. Very easy for the most part. I got the kit off of eBay and it came with the wrong plug. We just cut the ends off and butt connected it to the correct wires. It wasn't hard.
Here is a pic of him happily making holes!!!

What Joe said above about the two harnesses is correct. Both will plug into the same connector located along the lower outer panel in passenger footwell. If you have the overhead console and the wrong harness, you will lose power to the console when you unplug the existing harness and plug in your new one.
It was a fun project...does take nerve to drill that first hole but after that it goes smooth. Do add silicone RTV to the screw posts and electrical connector when attaching to the cab...extra insurance against leakage. I've had no issues with mine.
