If you buy them in a box as a kit... it will come with the wire, quick splices, etc. You'll just need to find a place to pull power.

Since mine were using LEDs (low current draw)... I just taped into my parking light circuit. I put a switch inline so that I could turn them on or off.

I saw a video online where someone rigged the left and right outmost lights to flash with their blinkers. Looked kind of cool... but way too much effort for what I was wanting to do.

Good luck,
Cartman

That would be cool.

Right now I'm trying to figure out what exactly I want to do with the set I have not installed. I'm thinking I am going play with a micro controller to run those cab lights. I could tweak the heck out of them that way... make them run back in forth on, fade in and out, strobe, flash with blinkers... more for an electronics fun experiment than anything else.

Most of us that have done them ourselves have used the Recon LEDs. They used to have a Dodge Forum discount, I think when you go to checkout there is a box for a coupon code and you type "DodgeForum"...

power would be gained by tapping into an existing parking light 12v source. A relay may be necessary depending on how much current the lights draw.
