cab lights installed

Installed my cab lights last night. Install took 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Everything went perfectly, the light wiring harness plugged directly into the existing harness plug behind the passenger A pillar. Really gave the front approach to the truck a great look.

Tell me more about you're light kit. The kit I bought had no plug to plug in behind the a-pillar. Instead it had a long wire and directions on routing it to the back of the fuse panel telling me which wire to tap into. Honestly I can't recal there being an unused plug behind the a-pillar but we have vertually identical trucks. That would have cut 30 minutes out of the job.

Yeah my kit didn't have a plug either, but my truck did, so I'm just splicing it in.

I bought it from dodgeparts.com, it had a long wire like you mentioned and a clip in the parts bag that matched up to the plug behind my A pillar. i trimmed the wire to the correct length and put the clip onto the wire and I was done. The clip was not listed as a part so I may have gotten lucky, I do not know. The instructions showed you to feed it to the fuse block like you mentioned but I had read in a post a day or so ago about the plug behind the A pillar and I had one there so I tried it out and it worked. Dumb luck I guess for me cause the instructions of feeding it through to the block looked like a mess.

I can't believe I didn't notice this plug behind the a-pillar. I'm going to take it back off and look. If it's there I'll tap my wire into it and rout what's left of it down for the LED's I'm going to put on my running boards after I get them make. Seems a shame to let all the work of routing that wire go to waste.

did it

I put mine on last night..... Love the way the look... . spliced into the hot line on the passanger side A pillar... . easy as pie..... Didn't like drilling into new sheet metal,, but someone would have to do it... . At least I know I would take my time and care alot more than having a shop do it, also saved anywhere between 75 and 200 bucks doing it myself... .....

Whoooa! Macker, thanks for writing that. It seems I missed that little word "PASSENGER side A-pilar" in the first post. No wonder I didn't see it, I never took that one all the way off. Boy do I feel like a real
