I had the running lights professionally installed for fear of screwing something up. But they are running lights, turn signals, and courtesy lights. They ran the wires through the firewall on both sides and had to take out the headlights to wire the running and turn signals. I don't remember where they tapped the white wire for the courtesy lights...see my dis-assembled front end...

I'd love to find a wire to tap for the courtesy lights. I've been wanting to add some additional lighting for that, as the two little LEDs in the mirrors are not the best.

So did they wire in a relay to power your new lights or did they just tap straight into your front signals? I wouldn’t think a relay would be needed since your new lights are probably LED with very low draw.

Trying to sort out my windshield wiper issue. Original thread here: http://www.ramforum.com/index.php?threads/117947/

Replaced the multi-function switch, but no luck... Agh!

Not for the turn signal, I believe they might have for the white courtesy light. Not sure. Just too confusing for me.

Looking good clean single cab

I'd love to find a wire to tap for the courtesy lights. I've been wanting to add some additional lighting for that, as the two little LEDs in the mirrors are not the best.

I've come up with three possibilities:

1 - Tapping the footwell lights. These wires will handle the draw of a T10/194 bulb, which average 0.27 amp. I've got the OEM LED ones installed, so there's some spare amperage available there. They are easy to get at, right up under each footwell in the cab.

2 - Tapping the Cargo light. This one may or may not require a relay to avoid having the can-bus system shut it off. The problem with using a relay is that the cargo light fades out and may cause chattering of the relay. The wire is under the drivers side door sill. On my 2014 it's supposed to be white with a tan stripe.

3 - Tapping the dome light. Pretty much the same issues as the cargo light. Not sure where/what color the wire is. Also, my truck has the factory LED dome, so the can-bus is not expecting much amperage draw.


For anyone curious, here are the amperage draws @ 14v that I measured on the Recon Big Rig Ice lights I have here. These are per side.

Running Light: 0.07 amp
Turn Signal: 0.38 amp
Courtesy Light: 0.15 amp

Truck looks good, as far as removing tha steps to each his own. I kept mine on. running a 2/4 drop no issues even with some huge speed bumps but I'm in tha City.

You lower that thing much more and those steps become a tripping hazard. LOL

I think I’d like it to yank that black tape **** off mine too but I’ve long since put on my stick-on window deflectors...[emoji52]

You’re right. Lol.

I really think that on mine being the max steel that it would look better with that removed but I just ain’t ready to tackle starting over with my vent shades. Been there, done that. Got the shirt, burned it and buried it. Lol.

OK then. I'll just **** ;-)

Spent a few hours Wed. cleaning it. Cleaned the rims yesterday (more like scrubbed them). Maybe interior this evening. I really should clean the truck more often. My Charger stays pretty damn clean, I just use waterless cleaner every week, and it stays very clean. I need to get that way with the truck.

 

[corneileous]

I think I might look into that waterless car wash a little more some day.

I just use a spray from Meguirs... I know there is better out there.... but this works really well, especially if you keep up on it and keep the car waxed.

I like Meguiars. My car wash soap, dry and wax, dash cleaner and leather cleaner/conditioner is all Meguiars.

Nice to keep in the car too, in case of bird **** or tree sap.
