Installed Recon Smoked Cab Lights

Installed some Recon smoked cab lights (hoping for no leaks, siliconed the crap outta them)

One question tho, I built a relay and triggered it from the brown/white wire that goes to the headlight switch assembly, but that only turns them on when the truck is running and the parking lights are on. I would like for them to turn on when the lights flash with the lock/unlock and when the truck is remote started and the parking lights are on, does anybody have any idea what wire i need to trigger my relay from for that?

Looks great, have no idea for an answer to your question, but did you install them your self or did you have some one do it? I am needing my headliner redone (sinking down a bit in the back) so I figured when I have that done I would get the cab lights installed then. Two birds one stone.

I had mine installed and they didn't flash when I would unlock the truck either like other trucks I've seen. I took it back to him and now they flash. I'm not sure what exactly he did

on my lml, i used the actual stock connector on rt side of dash, found the pin that worked w/lights on, and it does what you want, flashes w/rest of lights. I can take a pic if you want. Did not need a relay either

Hey ken, could you post that pic? Im thinking on installing a set, i put them on my dodge and it wasnt bad. On the dodge there was the stock plug on the pass pillar and it worked great. It sounds like you got just what im looking for.

I did the install myself... definitely a nervous wreck drilling holes in the roof of the truck for the wire connectors (3/8" hole or a little larger)
