yes...thats what i did with my white lights under my dash. the easiest wire for me to find to splice into was the lights on the doors. under each side of my dash i have a red strip (on a seperate switch) and the white strip that comes on with the doors open and if i switch the dome lights on.

yea its beena tough choice but there really wasnt an option to get something new without selling this one first.

posted it and got a buyer thats gonna pay my price so its a cant miss deal opportunity really.

havent found the right SD yet but thats what im looking at. gonna have 1 vehicle between me and the fiance for about a month so were gonna use her car plus some cash from mine to get a new truck paid off and then get another suv or car for her later

truck is paid for but dont have the funds to keep it and pay insurance on it and get a new truck and a house in a few yrs. plus my next option to mod it would be a motor swap and thats about 3-5k itself

and nope not at all. going with a 3/4 ton cus i can get alot more for the same price than a 1/2 ton. also id feel better about a 150K diesel over a 120K gasser and thats the mileage id be at for a crewcab f150 and the cabs are bigger even still.
