In this video I explain and demonstrate the installation procedure for the running board lights made by OPT7. In this kit there are two 60" LED lights with wiring and associated hardware. This kit will be installed on a 2019 Ford F150 STX. Link to the item below.

After filming the video it dawned on me I could wire the white courtesy light on the running strips to the rear bed light on the cab. I suggest you try that if you want the courtesy light feature of the running strips to function without having to find the dome light circuit.
Lastly, it should be noted if you wire the turn signal wire for the LED strip to the rear turn signal or trailer harness like we did in this video, your running strips will glow brighter when you apply the brakes. This is the better option as if you were to splice into the front turn signals, you'll have strobe effect coming from the led strips when the engine is running. Installing diodes doesn't seem to help resolve that issue either. Now that you know all the things, you can make an informed decision. Wiring the LED lights to the trailer harness will trick the truck into thinking you are pulling a trailer and the cylinder deactivation will no longer function. You can decide if that is a benefit or not based on your personal preference.
Good luck, boyz, we're all counting on you.
