The finished product.

There ya have it.:drink

 

nice writeup man.

 

Thanks. I know that someone will think of some things I didn't like a different wire to hook into to work with the interior lights?

 

might use a fuse tap to tap into those lights at the junction box.

 

Yeah I tried to find the right fuse, but I must have been hiding behind a wire because I could not for the life of me find it.

 

Here is a pic of the light that I used you can get them in 9 different colors.

I would say door trigger or dome supervision would of been an easier option. Thanks for posting that up I am sure it will help anyone else that tries it.

 

Was this a radio shack LED? just curious where you got these from? part number?

Looks really nice!

Never mind I just looked up and saw you already put that information!

 

Do they come on when you hit your unlock button?

 

Yes they turn on when you lock or unlock the truck. Basically anytime your interior lights are on they are on.

 

for anyone else who wants to do this you can read here for another option to wire them in, it will make them light up anytime your dome lights come on

 

This is a great way to do this. I installed the same lights that I put on mine and we hokked it into that wire. Now the lights go dimm like the interior lights. When I hooked into the door lights they just shut right off with no dimming so I am going to pull the wires and hook it into the black and grey wire.

 

the bulb sockets, do you have to get those from the stealership? or anywhere for that matter?

 

Are you meaning to put light on the inside of your truck or for the courtesy lights?

 

i just hooked up my recon bgi rig ice lights and i hooked the clear lights into my courtesy lights their is a bunch of wires that run down the drivers a pillar and runs down through that panel that has fues beside it on the side of your dash unwrap this bunch of wires and their is a + wire that turns on and off for courtesy lights took me forever to figure it out i dont rember exactly what color the wire is though so grab a test light its easy to find

 

Really nice. I also like your kick panel speakers.

 

Sorry those aren't mine. I just got the pic off google for reference.

 

Ordered the same lights in natural white last night but I found out today that I'm headed to Alaska for 6 weeks on the 24th for work so its gonna be awhile I guess.

 

Nice write up bro....Just bougt LED'S for my steps, this will make it easy now...:drink

UPDATE: The dimmer wire on a LMM is solid Grey. There are 2 Grey wires that are located on the BCM on the black plug. You can see them in the photos to the left of the Green wire. The BCM is located under the dash to the left of the brake pedal.

 

Which solid grey wire did you use? I see both of them but does it matter if you tie into the left one or right one?

I just did mine i put 4 on each side. i love them i get so many comments on them also! sorry its not the best quality phone pic... ill try and get a better one!

 

Has anyone driven in the snow or rain? Does the double sided tape hold the LED?

 

Here we go i found better pics. and i have had them on for a good 2 months with no problems. they are acctually holding up alot better than i thought they would. i was expecting to have to replace the tape like every month but they are perfect!

 

Great 90 minute mod for less than $20! Did mine last night. I'll be looking for some body tape (strong black duct tape) to tuck the wires up on the body today

 

Looks good guys! It's amazing how bright those little suckers are.
Here are mine...:thumb

Just thought I would give a quick update on my lights since I have had a few people ask. My LED's that I used are holding up great. The doublesided tape is still holding and all the lights are still bright as ever. I have washed my truck a good 20-30 times and have driven in mud, water and salt and no problems as of yet. I figured for the price I ordered a few extras and they are still setting in my tool box just in case one goes out I can just splice it in and be ready to go again.

 

Nice update, Josh. I was able to get the Amp light kit on Ebay last summer (for some reason my low-ball opening bid was the only one). So, the install is next on my list.

Thanks for the motivation!

 

Thats good that you got it on a good deal. My nephew has the kit on his truck and I actually think that the way I set it up on my truck looks cleaner and brighter. He only had his on for about a month and all his little lights from the kit started to loose there stick and they were just hanging there. Hopefully you have better luck.

 

That's good to know. I'll try to make sure they get epoxied up there real good!

But I'll be keeping this thread handy, just in case.

 

I am new to all this and would like to do this mod. How are you getting wire from inside the truck to the actual light? Did you drill holes?

 

I drilled a hole under the plastic trim by the driver seat.
