    Nice work Blue! So there are stock wires run into the doors already for lights?

    I like that idea much better than replacing all the door panels to what I found out is an older/outdated-looking design. The thing I did like a lot about those is the lense kind of wrapped around that corner, so they threw light toward the inside of the cab & also on the ground as you opened the doors. All I need to do is find a style of flush mount LEDs I like. As soon as there's not 5 feet of snow on the ground I'll have to get this mod done!

    Those lights are perfect with that color truck! Thanks for posting!

    The wires for the courtesy lights are there in the 2nd gens being the OEM door panels had the lights installed. 3rd gen is a different story. You'd have to take a look behind the panels to see what's there. If there isn't existing wiring for door lights, you could easy tap into the power at the window switches to power the LEDs you install.

    These LEDs are surprisingly bright and cast a good amount of light. They have white LEDs of the style i picked too.

    2010 was the last year for those lights. My 2013 only had reflectors and there is no wiring for them either. The new ones don't even have reflectors.

    Not all 2nd gens had wiring. 2010 was the last year for the lights and the 2013 did not have wiring.

    Wiring is up until the 2010 models. No wiring after that.
