Hey guys I started installing clearance lights on my 2017 ram but come to find out I do not have the white and green wire on the passenger A pillar its just the antenna wire. Where else can I tap into?

The plug is inside the dash to the right of the upper glove box area, all trucks have the plug. That plug has the green/white wire for the cab lights.

take the cover off the side of the glove box.

Real simple. It's the SIDE panel, not the glove box.

Yes the mopar kit does come with a template. It takes a bit of adjusting if you don't have an extra set of hands. I used a center punch to mark the center and made pilot holes with a 1/8 drill bit then came back around with a step bit. I'm pretty sure the recon lights do not have a template unless they've started including it in their newer kits. And also the mopar is not plug n play. You will need to splice one wire on the passenger side (glove box side entrance not the A pillar)

Yes it comes with a temp plate and with as stated a solid drill bit and steady hand, it's all good. Plus it's plug and play. :)

Yes sir the kit cones with everything you need. All you need is the tools and patience. Took me 4 hours. I used mopar touch up paint for and blowouts and also to paint the holes. Then before I tightened everything up I used rtv silicone under the cab lights and around the screw inserts

I wish I wouldve taken pictures as I was in the process but I was so focused I completely forgot
