Bought some illuminated sun visors from the salvage yard and apparently I have no harness on my 2018 RAM 1500 Tradesman. Unless I'm completely missing something, but took some photos cuz I don't see anything. I do see where there is a connector between two harnesses that goes into the microphone. Am I able to buy some type of harness splitter? I assume I could make my own and pigtail off of that? Does anyone make these or know where they sell something like that?

@Mpgrimm2 might be able to make one or at least point you in the right direction. He makes OEM quality custom harnesses for our trucks...

Go back to the yard and carefully remove the parts of the wire harness ( connectors and wires) from the donor truck.
It was shipped from across the country. I found a thread where someone talked about tapping into map light and which color wires to use. I'm going to give that a shot.

In one of your pics, on your passenger "A" pillar is a small wire harness, where does that go ?.
Also try looking in the triangle hole where the mirror goes, the wire and connector may be hiding in there.

A bit off subject, but i have to ask
In the image with the red arrow, that is pointing to a foam looking part
to the right of that foam piece is a card like device that is connected to some wires.

Does that card have readable writing on it ?
Could it possibly be an Air Card made by Sierra

Nope, looks like the newer microphones in the headliner. The aircard is inside the radio housing itself.

Can I ask what you paid for the lighted Visors?
