Running board lights

[JDaleo]

Sorry for the delay we got hit with some snow yesterday. So you will route your wires from your third brake light and with a coat hook or firm wire be able to fish your wire behind the rear most portion of your headliner gently pulling down if you need more access. Then behind your back seat where your spare tire jack is will be a carpeted panel that has a few clips securing it. Behind there is a cab vent where I routed my wires so they lead out between the gap of the cab and the bed. The pictures I attached are of what it looks like behind the cab light, the carpeted panel behind your rear seat to pull back, and where the wires come out of the vent behind the cab.

For reference the black wire is your ground and the white wire is the positive. The red wire is the signal wire for the brake light and shares a black (ground) wire with the two adjoining cargo lights. This is for those that have incandescent bulbs for their third brake light, I’m not sure if the colors are the same for factory LED brake lights

Hope this helps ??

Thanks for the pictures! Just to confirm the steps...
1. You took the cargo light out to easily get to the wires from the outside.
2. Attached a wire to the white wire on the light to run into the cab.
3. Ran the wire down beside the rear glass, behind the jack wall carpet, through the vent leading you outside of the cab.
4. Split the wire coming out to go to each sides running board light's courtesy wire.

Thanks a lot for the information! Going to try to tackle this when it's not cold or rainy! I bought the 3M adhesion promoter, going to clean it all up real good with isopropyl alcohol, put on the promoter, then go in for the stick!

Thanks!

Yep exactly! I tapped into both the white and black wires so ran 2 wires so that I didn’t have to try and find another ground somewhere else.
