courtesy lights - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did some searching on here, couldn't really find what I needed. Any of you guys that have added courtesy lights, can you show me where you tied the orange wire in. I have a good idea, just want to make sure.

Thanks

Tom

The orange and white wires that go to the dome light near the bottom of the fuse box. If you buy the kit from one of the vendors, it has a connector that you plug into the factory dome light harness and piggy back the dome light harness. Pretty easy to do...

Takes 10 minutes with one from one of the vendors

Figured it out, real simple. Got the parts out of a mid 90s Chevy truck

I've got a couple of these, but just haven't had a chance to put it in. I figure I'd have one good kit between the two

I use the lights from CST K/5s and plug them in at the factory location. Does someone reproduce these or is there some other kit?
