The issue I'm running into is that the Rambox lighting is tied to the ignition, if the truck is off, the lights in the Rambox stay off. There's a yellow switch in there, but it doesn't do anything if the truck isn't on. How do I wire this so that the switch controls whether it is on or off regardless of whether the truck is on off? Or how do I tie it into my cargo light switch to manually control it from there? Or do you have a better idea for lighting in the rambox?

It will stay on, but there is some weird combination that I'm not thinking of presently that makes it work. Try hitting the unlock button on the FOB with it open or maybe it's with the driver door open? I noticed the same thing...

How do Ram owners run the BED Lights ?

I am not positive, but the Ram box wiring runs up from the frame & tail lights.

I watched a video, the guy unscrewed the Ram Box & lifted the boxes out.
He seemed to indicate that the wiring was at the rear corners
