I installed these on my 22 Limited Longhorn https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D535PHM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . If you take the the in-floor storage top trim off from the passenger floorboard, you will see there is a hole that passes through. I ran the wire from the Led strip up through that hole, and followed the door sills all the way to the front, and tapped them into the foot-well courtesy light. I don't have the power running boards, but the led strip lights up when the doors are opened or when unlocking the truck...any time the foot-well courtesy light would some on. As for the lights I ordered from Amazon, I ignored the DRL and Turn signal lights/wires. I just used the white courtesy lights. Did that about a month ago, and haven't had any issues.

Nice, I like that!

I just moved from Fredericksburg to Florida about 3 years ago. Spent 27 years there. Love the little town in Virginia and the history.

I installed these recently and really like them! They’re not super bright but they match the factory LEDs very nice and don’t look over-the-top. T-tapped them into the interior light below the steering wheel and it worked flawlessly. Limited-time deal: Nilight - TR-08 8PCS 24LED Rock Light https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YZFN92..._dl_YH4TF6DTA0C6QEG9E8JC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have the sequential version under the Xmas tree, so I'll be tackling these in January. Not sold on the turn signal function yet, but thinking of a way to have it run once, then switch to white when I unlock the doors.

which wire did u guys tap into??

My footwell light only had 2 wires, a negative and positive so it was easy for me. Some of them have 3 I think lol

 

[SKT Customs]

Just put the wire taps on loosely and hold up the neg and positive and see which combo turns the lights on lol
