not trying to create an Explorer 1500, but my wife's explorer has ambient lighting that's always on when the car is on. It's kind of nice.

I think the 5th gen Rams have that too

I already had two of these up front in the factory location but Sunday I picked up 8 of the T-10 style housings and pigtails from the junkyard for $20 and added under seat lighting so I could see better in the rear floorboard. Completely satisfied. I wrapped my wiring in tape similar to what they use at the factory and it looks great in my opinion. Not overly happy with how it is mounted but I wanted it as low as I could get it to shine in the rear as much as possible and in the center. 8e5b3e3f4bf6d8c23c7c7a9a08c4e920.jpg990d13811dccce82b41fe965493106ec.jpgb4ad6d03341c9d8c497d700bf5d56fb2.jpg69d521604a767ce673c8c7f1aa00d35a.jpg

has anyone sourced an actual plug end that will fit in the factory harness for custom lighting?

Hi there. A bit late to this thread but wanted to ask @mpglol or anyone if they can share the photos of the first post?

Photobucket is not working anymore and would be great if anyone can share them/similar ones.

Looks really good. I been looking for a way to add floor lights in the back seat. Where did you tap power for the lights?

you just need the light assemblies to install.. a friend of mine gets them from where he works and gives them to me to sell for him here and on ebay.. generally $23 a set shipped .. he hasnt dropped any off in a couple weeks but i will reach out to him this weekend and see when he expects more..

Hi,

Wanted to install the Footwell Lighting as well, but when searching for the pre-wired harness, I could not find it (driver side).

Do you know if it is possible that my 2012 Ram 1500 Sport doesn't come with the pre-wiring?

You missed it by a year - 2013s were prewired, 2012s were not (at least my 2012 Sport was not).

Thanks to the help of a forum member we have now added the bezels that surround the LED's to the kit. This should make installation even easier and neater than before

Do you sell a wiring harness. I have a 2012 and truck doesnt have harness unless well hidden.

YES INDEED... 914 LED and the cover still goes back on... same as license plate bulbs if I remember correctly

I had one act up about 9 months and start flickering, replaced and all ok...

LEDs do this I think, I had a 3rd brake 'white' bulb go flicker on me, replaced the other day, all ok.

Yes, tag lights, foot wells, and glove box are all the same. 194 is the number.
