How did you go about mounting the ditch lights? I am drafting up ideas now for mounting. I did find some from a company but they want like $160 just for the mounts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been looking through this thread and if anyone would like a cheaper alternative to matching OEM while still making it look nice and clean here is an option. This is my plan. Mount this in engine bay: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075M4PRG2/?coliid=I3U7V0T7XBPNUH&colid=1J222WOD3I32L&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Run new wires from X1 plug for AUX 1-4 (X1 pins 10-13) -Terminals for X1 harness: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity/5-962885-1-Loose-Piece?qs=sGAEpiMZZMve4%2fbfQkoj%2bG6zpObDOwGRn7gVy0C5fa0%3d Wire from X1 to relay in engine bay (relay pin 86) Wire from battery to buss bar (distribute power) then to a fuse and then to each relay (relay pin 30 & 85) Wire from relay to powered accessory (relay pin 87) This should keep everything still clean and you could run the wires through the 'Upfitter' hole in the steering column gasket as mentioned earlier and then wrap wires all in split loom and attach to firewall to keep wires out of the way and clean. Haven't gone through and done this yet but in theory reading through this should be the same thing just a little cheaper alternative. I also attached a quick wiring diagram to help. I am open to ideas too if someone does not think it would work. Final Schematic.pdf

Pgamboa was a HUGE help for me in the process! i got rid of my tiny DL8 mirrors and slapped on some aftermarket tow mirrors. I used his DIY harness and it was a breeze to install! Instructions were very clear and pictures helped a TON! He is a great resource for the project! I also had to install the RZY harness as I have a 2014. my truck was wired for turn signals already but not the running/clearance lights or cargo lights. If anyone is going to attempt the RZY harness install i recommend watching pgamboa's video and having the written instructions handy, it is a massive PITA to put in. Took me about 6 hours to install that alone! Start on the drivers side first as all the BCM connections are there, when that entire side is done you can put the BCM back before wiring the passenger side.
