drop wires down to tail light from inside, i think there is a hole in the stake pocket, if you have a bed liner you might have to remove the tie down in that corner. there is probably 3 wires, black to ground, and 2 red, at least mine is like that, one to 12volt for interior light, and the other to brake light .

Mines is wired just like stated above, the wires drop down through the hole by the drivers rear stake pocket. The wiring taps into the drivers rear taillight wiring.

Have a good one.

Might have an issue with the light out indicator if you tie into the tail light. I would buy a cheap 4 prong trailer plug and run it down the stake pocket and connect it to the trailer harness under the truck. Just another thought.

my '01 and maybe my '06 had a wire taped up under the truck for the center mounted stop light. it was labeled "CHMSL" I believe. I think I ran a dedicated fused wire from the battery back to run the interior light.
