How-To: Install GMT900 Footwell Lighting.

This shows what I did and which wire.

Okay so for the GMT-900 I have a quick question. I am planning on doing this and at the same time running a lead to the truck bed for bed lighting. This way the truck bed lights come on as well as the dome, front floor, and rear floor lights. I was wondering if this would be to much of draw on the circuit and would need a relay or something to protect the vehicle wiring other than an inline fuse?

Also the dome lights have an over ride switch near the DIC which means I can manually turn on the dome lights if needed. Wiring the floor lights this way do you have that same capability?

Ok, I just got this modification done today. I added a few accessories to make adjustments.

 

I wanted to control the level of lighting so I slapped in a dimmer for the leds

 

 

Now I have a nice level of light at 50% on the dimmer dial.

I used this method to wire some truck bed lights that way they are controlled the same as the dome lights with fade in and out. I would like to add an override switch to the bed lights though with an independent on/off switch. Does anyone know how to do this?

 

I am concerned that using an add-a-circuit and just putting power to the bed light wire would cause some sort of issue with power being set back to the BCM. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

does anyone know if the 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 uses the same block and wiring configuration of the two grey wires? My 2016 Sierra double cab doesn't have the puddle lights like several of my older trucks did and better half said "fix it", and then gave me set of LEDs for X-Mas. I figured I could put on my Westin R7 running board mounting brackets, as they are solid and should do nicely for that purpose... I won't get a chance to dig under there and look for a while and figured I'd ask in case someone else had already figured out... thanks all.

p.s.Great looking well lights, Toddfather!
