LED Ambient Lighting
 
Whats up guys? I am really wanting to install some LED ambient lighting into the foot wells of my 05 Lariat crew cab but I want to do it right the first time. I have looked through the numerous posts about LED lighting on the page and cannot for the life of me find where I can connect these LED's to sync with the dome light. I don't really want them on while I am driving, I would just love to have it light up when the dome light comes on (Unlocking, door opening, etc). Anyone have any insight onto where a good connection to the dome light might be?

there is a bunch of wires in the floor plate on the drivers door, there is a mod here that should give you a good idea

i will being the same as well as the led lights when doors open soon

I believe I have the right wire however, is there a way to get the f150LEDS.com wiring page without buying the product? I am having issues in where to ground my lights.

just use the ground wire in the same loom, tap into an existing Ground :)

I got that one haha I just don't know what color it is. My dome light wire is black with a light blue lead, very obvious once its found but the ground is something I cannot locate and haven't been able to locate within this forum.

well when you do find it, let me know which wire is your power and ground. Good luck!

The power is a black w/blue tracer chord, I found that on another forum and it was confirmed by another user. I am not sure if it has a ground so I may ground it to the frame inside the door somewhere if I cant find the wire.

According to the data I have, the ground is Black/Blue, and the power is Lt Blue/Red in the Left A Pillar...

Daggom I thought I had it. We are talking about the power wire to the dome light in the driver side door sil correct? I am new to this and, other than swapping out map/dome bulbs, this will be my first LED install so I want to ensure it goes smoothly.
