It seems simple enough, just getting the measuring down. Since it's the OEM set with the harness, it'll be a plug and play.

You may have to modify the plug when you go to hook it into the harness in the kick panel. I did because I have the overhead console, so keep that in mind. I see you have an XLT Chris, do you have the overhead computer?
The one from the kit has only 2 pins
The one on my truck had 10 pins. It wasn't a big deal, just had to splice the wires from the kit into the factory harness. Just a heads up.

Good to know, I don't have the overhead console and I believe the listing said it was for a non-console truck. Anywho, thanks for the heads up. I already tapped into that plug for running lights along my cab steps and power for my under-dash gauges so I'll have to re-do them when I get to it. Basically, the overhead lights need power and ground so shouldn't be too hard.

They look good except one has a small rub on it. The harness is in fine shape. I can get you pics if you like. just pm me from here out.

The headliner doesn't look too bad. I had it partially down chasing a bare wire issue on my map lights.

Question on this guys:
I ordered the dodge lights and it only came with a ground and power. no connector. Can i just tap into the same wire that i used for my gauge illumination lighting? Its the wire under the dash thats instructed to use in the diesel manor gauge install instructions. I just dont want to overload that wire. I already have my white face glow gauges hooked into that point too.

You don't want your clearance lights to dim so I would tap into the connector in the passenger kickpanel where the OEM harness would normally plug into. If you have a test light, stick it into the connector with your lights on and find the one that powers the lights. It would be one of the middle plugs in the connector.
Just kidding. If I had it to do all over again, I would probably get the led ones the Chevy's have. They are super bad azz.

Hate to say it and don't harp on me too bad but I put the Dodge led lights from Recon on my truck. Just because I liked the chrome base and lower profile look. Here are a couple pics day and night.
