This was a great lesson. Thanks Chris. I ran rock lights under my stock boards with a 2 x 1 diode, with one supply from aux switch and the other will now come from a SS relay. Great info thanks!

What route did you take to run the wiring between the steps and the footwell LED lights? Did you just come up and in through the engine firewall? Thanks!there are only 2 wires black to back and good to go
How does the fuse holder fit into the wiring? I understand to connect all the individual lights together but unclear about this step16gauge fuse holder

I already had the 16gauge 2 conductor wire(Black/Red wire surrounded in black conduit so I didn't have to use as much shrink tubing.)
Couple of questions:I came up and trough the firewall. one of my leds quit on me ill have to change that one out but the rest are still working.
Oh one other question (for now ha). Can I install the steps and then install the lights later without removing the steps?Couple of questions:
Thanks!
- What is the estimated install time going this route? Seems a little simpler than @TTEChris install and I'm all about keeping it simple ha.
- Did you buy any other parts? Would these work for the connections? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6LTK44/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=AE8CEXT8X69U6&psc=1
- Do the lights come on when you unlock the doors with the fob?
It takes me 4-6 hours from start to finish taking breaks along the way. Make sure you test all your LED's before wiring them in a series. Most of the time for me is spent behind the steps like @Dynomite1371 mentioned. Dealing with those tiny wires can be a real pain/time consuming. Soldering/shrink wrapping all the connectors/wires/etc all takes a good amount of time(Not hard work, just time consuming.)Couple of questions:

You can probably wire them on the Jeep, but for me it is MUCH easier setting them on a table/stand and wiring them up that way.Oh one other question (for now ha). Can I install the steps and then install the lights later without removing the steps?
You probably have the trigger wire tapped into the wrong wire in the footwell like mentioned above. Mine will stay on for a few seconds with the engine running, but then shut off when the dome light switches off.Does your step lights stay on when the engine is running?
I wired mine per the instructions above and as long as the engine is not running the lights go off when the interior lights shut off.
But if the engine is running the step lights stay on.
