Is there a chance the dome lighting wire or another lighting wire could be located in bundle of wires under the kick panel cover on the drivers side. Thanks.

Yes. It's down there. It's easier to access honestly on the A Pillar. 5 minute job to remove that panel and tap in sitting in the seat versus contorting on the floor trying to hook everything up.

When I did mine I tapped the interior dome lighting at the wiring harness on the drivers side under the dash. Now I am running hid so I turned my other exterior lighting off so I don't wear out my ballasts prematurely. So the only exterior lighting I have is my step bar lights. They alone put out plenty of light. 20160515_205908_zps2o4uuydc.jpg

Can you tell me more about where the dome light harness is and what color the wire is.

Well, just got my lights installed today. Total cost of 40 bucks plus labor. They come on automatically with the key fob or when you open the door. They fade out when they turn off.

 

Can't wait to check them out tonight.

It's all in the thread. Start from the top of this thread and work your way back.

If you want to use the parking light as the feed that's easy. Just tap into the parking light.

Yes that I know I was just wondering if there was a feed somewhere closer. Instead of running a wire front or back.

For led running board lighting i would assume you would not want to use the parking lighting as they would be on anytime your headlights are on and i believe most states have laws against underglow while driving.

I'm very interested in doing this to my 2015 cc. Can you send me a link to where you bought the leds? Also, how did you run the wires into the cab? How did you tap into the gray wire....just peeled it back or used a connector? Thanks
