Default Where to wire cab / clearance lights?

I ran them into the engine bay just as the instructions say from mopar ( http://moparestore.trademotion.com/m...s/K6860443.pdf )

The LAST step is to splice them to pin 50 which it says is white and light green.

unfortunately, my pin in 50 is white and yellow, and with a wire tester, I don't get + with the corner lights like your supposed to.

Did this change in 2011??

Any takers? The guide says "2009-DS" so that SHOULD be the entire 4th gen?

I guess I solved my own problem...

green white wire at a separete harness to the side of the fan. Spliced it in and it works!

2nd & 3rd Gen Rams have a wiring harness inside the passanger A pillar to plug in cab lights. Was pretty sure they were retained in the 4th Gens. Did you happen to look there? Makes wiring a whole lot shorter and easier.

For some reason, when Mopar switched to the current manufacturer for the light kits about four years ago, the instructions stopped mentioning the pillar harness but the old instructions for the previous lights (the ugly ones) had you connect it there...

Negative- I checked. Had a 2nd gen before and they were right there in the a-pillar. 4th gen had to run to the front, but it was pretty easy- theres even a gasket already for it in the engine bay. I took pics and I'll get a how to up here in the next day or two.
