thank you so much

Let me save you a little trouble with this. I had these installed on my 2012 Limited and watched him do it. They say to tie into purple and grey( I think) wire in the A pillar. That A pillar is FULL of airbag! You can find that same wire down by the drivers side kick panel in front of the parking brake area. It even has some slack in it to make it easier. They do look great when installed by the way!!

Good evening all...I have a 2011 ford edge and I purchased these sill plates from ebay. I attempted to follow the attached instructions to no avail. I even used a volt meter to test power w/ the door and again seemed to have no luck. the instructions instruct you to tap into the harness in the A-frame to a grey/violet wire. 1-there isnt this colored wire-there is a grey and what appears to be violet and neither has 12v when the door is open.

If anyone has had success or pictures where they picked up the 12 v on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Please disregard previous post...I saw "Candy's Edge" advice and gave it a try...very well done "Candy's Edge" that did the trick, very easy once I found that wire.

Thanks

You're very welcome!! Glad it worked for you too. They do look VERY cool at night!

I tried to install these onto my 2013 limited too. I found a wire that is grey with a purple stripe. Welded it together with the red wire from the kit. But when I tested it, opened the door, the led lit up for a little bit then shut off. Sometimes, the led comes on and stays on longer even after I close the door and all the interior lights shut off. I don't think it's normal. And how about that grey wire with a purple stripe? Did I find the right one?
