Thread: Led running board lights.

  1. Top Of Page | #1

    Led running board lights.

    I was thinking of getting a rock light kit, mounting them to the underside of the rockers and wiring them so they light up my running boards when I open the doors. Does anyone know what wires I should tap into so they turn on when I unlock the truck or open the open the doors ?

    Not sure on the color wire but the puddle lights under your mirror would be a good one.

    Re: Led running board lights.

    Where would I grab that wire from. I’d rather not go into the doors if I can. If I can get it from under the hood maybe near the fuse box I think it would be easier.

    I would get a buddy to open the door as you hit each fuse under the hood with a meter. Once you find one that powers up with the door figure out which circuit it’s for and if it could handle the extra load (which wouldn’t be much). They make those add a circuit fuses with 2 wires on them just for these things. Only issue you might have is the sensitive canbus light system in these trucks. If you start adding extra load or taking some away, it throws all sorts of codes and warnings. I got rock lights under my rockers that come in when I open my door, but I got AMP Steps which has a power wire for this.

    There's a button in the door sill that activates the interior lights when the door opens, can you work with that for each door to each side lights ?

    When I wired up my rocker lights I tapped the tan/white wire in the access panel on the side of the dash. The lights come on when I unlock the truck, open a door or turn on the cargo lights.
