That is the question my post in front of yours is asking. So far no answers though. It looks to be correct I would just like to verify it.

I've got the wire connections just like in the picture. Is this the correct wire for the footwell lights to work with the switch in the overhead console? I'm planning on doing this mod this weekend. If anyone has set there truck up like this could you verify it's correct. Thanks.

Yes this grey/black is the dome circuit. It will operate as the interior lights do, by remote control or manual switch. They will also fade out when locked via remote

my 5050 led strip 5 meters 300 led will draw 6 amps would you guy know how much amp the dome light circuit actually draw also how can I wire them up with two power source one will be activated with the dome light cicuit thru a 3 positions switch and the other one just by a different power supply again thru the switch this will enable me to have them on all the time if i want to with the switch up and the down position will be with dome circuit

Just like to say thanks to all of you posters out there that enabled me to successfully install my foot well and rear under-seat lights. I used the XKglo 4x13" set plus an additional 12" bar. I ended up making brackets out of aluminum "L" channel. All worked out very well. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.

Ok, I have seen the names of XK-Glow, and Oznium, but no one has posted which kit they got, any help?

i used oznium lights in my truck - they've worked fantastic (i actually need to order more lights from them in the near future for other things i want to do). not only is their product great but i had a bunch of questions about stuff and their people are great to deal with too

 

this is what i used...

for inside my center console and for inside the back cubby hole: https://www.oznium.com/led-bolt

for footwell lighting and for my lighting inside the storage area on either side of the center console: https://www.oznium.com/led-ribbon

for a switch: https://www.oznium.com/rocker-switch

wire splice connectors (these are AWESOME!): https://www.oznium.com/quick-wire-splice-connector

for the LEDs on my dash (surface mount): https://www.oznium.com/plcc-2

 

you can see lots of pics of what i've done in my build thread (link in my sig below)

I used the grey wire in the drivers side pillar when I hooked mine up in my 14. Need to do it again in my 15 but I'm waiting to do it when I add some other lights. But that wire will turn the lights on as you want. If you push the switch on the overhead console, they'll come on.

 

As far as matching the lights, I used these little pods from oznium. I was happy with the color matching the domes/maps from the factory.

Did you ever post which lights you got?

 

I'd like to color match the domes.

There's 2 grey wires, one has a green stripe, the other is solid grey. You want the SOLID GREY wire which is the thicker of the 2 wires. Tapping this wire will give you the on with doors open and on with the "on" switch

 

If you want the lights to come on at the flick of the switch in each position, I'm not really sure but my guess is you'll almost definitely need to pull down the headliner to run wires above it from each light in the headliner, to the light in the respective footwell. I wanted to go this route at first too but thinking about it, it just sounds like a lot more work than it's worth.

I have pods from XK-glow.com and you sound about as OCD as I am when it comes to lights matching in color mike look perfect compared to the OEM lights, looks just like factory color

 

EDIT: also if you'd rather not have to run a wire from the pillar, you can find the same wire sitting behind the black cover under the far left side of the driver side dash. Wire is in the top left connector

Do you have a model # or link to the XK-glow lights you used?

This is basically what I ended up getting. They’ve changed up the website and their product design a few times since I ordered my light pods.

Also i looked at these just now and they say only available in green and red but I’m sure an email to XKGLOW would fix that.

I ended up going with these from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NV83BG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 

 

Pretty sure they are the ones you have.
