Light Wiring
Well I put cab lights on my truck today....


so everything is wired up and ready to go, they are mounted, everything, except connecting the single wire that will power all the cab lights to a 12V source that will only be on when the head lights are on...

Should I just use the headlight switch as that source?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure there is a connector just for them under the passenger side kick panel. Should be a brown wire, all of our trucks came with the wire...just not the lights.

Thanks Jim got it!

Here they are completed...


I offset the middle ones, I know the OBS trucks normally are not like that, but I like it that way better personally...
