Now my interior light kit I installed in the driver and passenger side foot wells as well as under the driver and passenger seats in the rear. I popped the dome light out of the ceiling of the truck.
Matched the color wire it was yellow with a brown stripe
Went under the dash driver side found the harness with the matching color
Used a wire tap to tap into the dome light wire.
Grounded the ground wire to a bolt on the frame
It worked out really well now my interior led kit come on and off with my dome light and it fades also

I ordered my kit from led concepts I'll link it. It's a great kit $60 I think pretty much plug and play once you tap power. My only 2 gripes where the adhesive had trouble sticking to the plastic , I think maybe cause it's to cold and I bought the extended kit for back seat which leads you to believe that there will be no problems. Well the rear passenger side light didn't have enough wire to make it where the control units is under my dash so it's cutting up my floor under the Matt near my right foot. I plan on emailing them to ask if they could send me a extended cable or if they even make one. All I need is an extra couple of feet

I might eBay some strips so it's cheaper that looks awesome though. I'm going for all white lights anyways. No need for the rgb strips

I've seen some threads showing the cubes in the bumper ,,,, I think it's such a good look. Do you know where I might be able to find that thread that explains how to make the pigtails? That would be great if I could wire them to pig tails and plug them right into the existing harness?

If you search ebay or amazon for "9006 pigtails" you can find 9006 plugs with the wires coming out the other end. You would then splice those wires right into the led pods power and ground. Then just plug the 9006 plug right into your trucks oem plug and your done.

The plugs run about $5 or $6 on ebay for 2 of them. Sometimes you can find an auction with 4 of them for under $10.

So while installing the led bar behind the grill my buddy and I came across something interesting. Behind the grill was a motorized grate of some sort in front of the radiator. Not sure what it's for but the light bar will be going in the lower park of the bumper. Pics to follow

Got some more done today , as some of you know I was having a grounding issue with my new projector lights. I got that squared away when tragedy struck ...... I dropped the right right headlight housing and it broke ! The glass projector broker as well as the actual housing. I was so mad at myself[emoji35]. So I had to put on my quad headlights until I can get a replacement from rock auto.

Also done today was my gator sr1 roll up bed cover , some rear window decals......

Now I also did a mod in the cab of the truck with my air vents. It dosnt serve for anything other than looks but it was an idea I came up with because I feel the whole dash area is so dark [emoji12][emoji41]

What I did was I put leds drilled into the air vents on a dimmer. It looked sick during the day and I will deff post some pics tonight when it gets dark.

Remaining is the headlights with retro shops hid kit once I can get another right headlight housing and adapter which I believe jermey said there on back order to mid march[emoji45] so headlights probably won't be done for a while. And the last thing will be lift, rims, and tires but that's after the wedding
