Chrysler Cab Clearance Light kit

I bought the Chrysler kit and installed it this weekend, looks great, fit great, easy job, BUT the dealer opened the box and "checked" things out and lost the directions. My question is--Where does the power feed go? The kit comes with a new connector, it has about 10 or so spaces to hook wires in, but I am not sure??

I haven't done mine yet but have the instructions and it says to take the lead wire to the lead wire on the drivers side running light. The instructions say to peel the insulation back and solder the two leads together then tape with electrical tape. I hope this helps you. Good luck.

I've been thinking about installing some cab light, I really like the look but I'm concerned on my truck they may not fit, I'll try to get a frontal pic up tonight and you guys tell me what you think.
It's a White 01 Sport with all the badges removed.

Mine had me install it in the back of the fuse box inside the cab. That way it was fused and on a relay.

Ya know, I really didnt like the cab lights when I first got my 24V...now after driving that for 3 years....I need to get a set for my 12V. It just seems like something is missing.

Its a set of cab lights...includes just about evrything you need to install, including a template for drilling and mounting the lights.

But, the guys below have a good price too. 66.30 Part numner 822 05120, are the lights from the 1994-to I think 2000, 2001 the lights changed to a lower profile design. They have those also, but I cannot remember the number.

I wonder if that's the actual Mopar kit or if that's an OEM kit. I've always had bad luck with OEM parts of any kind for our trucks.
