STEP ONE: Remove step plate and panel
1) Remove the plastic door step plate by carefully pulling it up by hand.
2) Remove the plastic panel that is adjacent to the door and under the dash.
3) Expose the wires that are behind the panel and find the black wire that has the blue stripe.

STEP TWO: Run wire from boards into vehicle.
1) Run the wire from under the running board up behind the door hinge and through the rubber housing for the speaker wires. FIG A
2) Pull the wire inside the vehicle so there is no excess hanging in the door or under the running board. The plastic covering may be removed on the wires that are inside the vehicle.

STEP THREE: Attach Ground wires.
Fig B
1) Find a suitable place to attach the ground wires. There are bolts screwed into the wall of the vehicle on both sides.
2) Expose 1" of the ground wires (black).
3) Loosen a bolt and wrap the black wire around it, then re-tighten.
4) Repeat the process on the opposite side.

STEP FOUR: Attach positive wires.
Fig C
1) Cut through the black wire with the blue stripe on the passenger side. The dome light should go out at this point.
2) Run the positive wire from the driver's side under the dash to come out on the passenger side.
3) Splice the positive (red) wires from both the driver and passenger sides into the black wire with the blue stripe.
4) Tape any exposed wires and check that both the dome light and running board lights operate correctly when the door is open.

STEP FIVE: Replace Panels
1) Snap the side panels back on.
2) Snap the door kick plates back on.
