just ordered mine online, I think cab lights complete the truck
Pacer Hi Fiv from etruckaccesories

To me, that was the most important option when I ordered my truck... besides the Duramax of course! You will have to make or buy the wiring harness to go from the passenger side of the dash to the light so they come on with the rest of the ambers.

is there a special plug to use going to the fuse box? should I get the wire harnass from GM? And can anyone tell me where in the fuse box does it get wired to?
Thanks

If you can put 2 spade connectors on the red and black wires, then you can make your own. With the Pacer lights, I don't thing the GM harness will connect to the lights, but will look good in the panel on the passenger side. Things I used when installing the lights on another members truck was 1 roll of black wire, one roll of red wire, 2 connectors to fit inside the panel, and electrical tape. There is a nice write upon this Place:

I can't help you on the power source for 05's. I know it changed from the 03 I had in which I wrote the guide. BTW, it's also available in PDF format too.

Connection for lights on 05

I just installed on my 2007. I was told to jump on the back of the trailer brake controller harness down on the firewall on the driver's side (brown wire on the newer trucks). This will give you the same circuit as the marker lights. Make sure to use the inline fuse provided with the light kit in case of a short, etc.

Good luck.

I didn't think of that and have used that exact wire in the past to power running board marker lights. However it would be ideal to find an in-cab source so you don't have to run a wire from inside to outside.
