Love it as a Ford employee an seriously thinking of buying a new f150 very soon I am loving these videos
Thank you for the feedback, it is truly appreciated!
This is super cool. Thinking about doing this for my 2016 Lariat! Thanks for the video
Nice work! Thank you for sharing!
NICE TUTORIAL VIDEO!
I installed these on my 2019 F150 Limited. I had to modify the plugs on the T-adapter. The grooves on the sides didn't line up. I shaved the grooves down and it plugged right in. Did the same thing to the plug coming from the truck. Lights are pretty bright.
Thank you for your business and explanation of that issue! This can happen on certain higher trims such as the Lariat and Limited. We do have some instructions on what to do in the installation manual - I will link below for anybody that needs it.

@@StarkeyProducts Thank you for your service. This is a really good product. I am totally satisfied with my purchase.
How do you get the bed outlet to work? The two in the truck have power, but the bed outlet LED just flashes when I start the truck, otherwise it does not work
I already have the plug and play bed lights . Does this y connector fit into the same 12 pin clip that the bed lights use?
Hi Joe - Yes it does for the 2015-2020 F150. You can also optionally request the 5007DUAL adapters when you order the underbody lighting kit which swaps the Y-Adapter for a 5007DUAL splitters (if you already have our bed lighting kit with Y-Adapter).

What do you do if you have the cargo light kit connected to the T harness already?
Hi - You have 1 of 2 options. Option 1: Connect the 2nd T-Connector (daisy chain, so to speak). There is nothing wrong with this but it does create a little bulk under the tailgate area. Option 2 is that in lieu of the T-Adapter, we can send you our 5007DUAL (link below). This allows you to connect up to 4 lights to 2 connections from the T-Adapter.

If you have any other questions please reply to this or feel free to reach out to our technical support team. Thank you!
I like these a lot. I'm going to add these to my 2017 lariat. My running boards go up when I close the door. Would that block the lights?
Hi Kevin - If you position them the way we do in the video, they will not be blocked by the factory running boards. They sit inboard of the running boards a bit so that it is not an issue. You should know, that some Lariats have a slightly different connector at the tailgate than what is shown in the video - this is explained on page 2 of our instruction manual that I am linking below. Before you purchased, I just wanted to make you aware so there were no surprises during installation! On the upside, you will not need the power extension wiring if you have this black connector (this means you are pre-wired!). Thank you!

Do you recall which wire you wired your underbody lights too.
Hi - it would depend on your model year. Please take a look at our instruction manual (posted on our website) and it will have both versions.
Hellow, do you have this for 2023 ford platum.
Hi - Yes we do, it is at the link below. Installation is a bit different in terms of the wiring, but the rail and light installation is identical.

Hi, looks like a great product, can these lights be fitted to shine on my power running boards? Also can the adaptor shown in the video be purchased desperately? Thanks
Hi Bruce - Because of the movement involved and available space above the running boards, it would likely be difficult to make them shine on the power running boards (but it is possible for them to be mounted so that the light shines below as shown). Yes we sure do - here is the 2015-2020 adapter version:

@@StarkeyProducts thanks for the quick reply! One more question if I may. What are the two small red connectors on the wiring adaptor for?, Thanks
@@swordmasterB No problem at all - Those are there in case the power extension wiring needs to be used - the Starkey supplied extension plugs into those red connectors.
Are these lights compatible wit the deployable running boards on the 2021?
That is a great question. Yes they are. The factory deployable running boards and most aftermarket versions only utilize 2 of the 3 running board mounting points. This leaves extra space in between - there needs to be about 50" of space in order to mount the rails/ LED strips. But even if the mounting point we show in the video isn't available, you can typically move up to a higher location and accomplish the same thing. I just installed the same kit on a 2015 F150 crew cab with aftermarket nerf bar style steps, and mounted the rails a few inches higher than on the 2018 featured in this video.
@@StarkeyProducts awesome!! Thank you! Yea I ordered the factory ones on my truck which should be delivered within the next few weeks 😎
Definitely gonna grab some of these
Just curious, do these not stay lit while driving ? I thought it was an underbody glow while driving. But it looks like it only works when opening the door or unlocking. So is the point of this to only temporarily illuminate the ground? My truck came with the 360 zone lights. Is there a kit or way to make them stay on while driving ?
Hi - No they do not stay on while driving. They illuminate so that you can see when you approach/ get into the truck, and then fade-to-off when the truck starts. You could wire them to a circuit that is on anytime the parking lights or headlights are on for the function you are looking for, but it would no longer be plug-n-play. You could tie them to the 360 degree zone lights so you could toggle them on/ off with that system.
Thanks, I’d like to buy this kit. Just wondering, do the puddle lights turn on when the vehicle is in reverse if the harness for the trailer assist light is used?
Rob - Great question. No they will not come on in that scenario. They will only come on when you unlock the truck or open a door, and fade to off with the other exterior lights after about 25 seconds (or when the truck is started/ put in gear).
Where did you get all the tools and the cables?
Tools can be had at any hardware store, no special sizes are used. Cables and all componentry is included with the kit.
I would love to do this and the bed lighting. Can you give a link to all parts needed.
Hi Vu - Please send us an email at sales@starkey-products.com and we will send a list of what is needed.
How will these work if I want to put the bed lighting also? Or is it a different connector?
Osiris - Great question. This works just fine if you want to use both. When you order the underbody lighting kit, there is an option on our website to select the 5007DUAL adapter in place of the normal adapter/ power harness. This is not an additional cost, just a parts swap. The part you end up getting is www.starkey-products.com/wiring-adapters-deutsch-receptacle-to-dual-plug
This allows you to plug all 4 connections into the original 2 power outputs.
Looks like you can either get this or the bed lighting, but not both, right?
Hi Matt - Actually you CAN do both, the circuit is capable of handling both loads with no issues. You have two options - 1: Just add the 2nd Y-Adapter inline with the existing Y-adapter and it will function fine out of the box. 2: You can request our 5007DUAL (link below) which would ship in place of the Y-Adapter. This allows you to add a total of 4 connections to a single Y-adapter. Any questions, let us know! Thanks.
www.starkey-products.com/wiring-adapters-deutsch-receptacle-to-dual-plug
Just curious why you have to tap into the harness in the rear of the truck AND the panel in the front? Couldn't it just be one or the other?
Jim - that's a great question. The plug-n-play adapter is all most trucks need (if they are what we called 'pre-wired'). If they are not, they add the power extension up to the front kick panel. You are correct that we could have an either/OR option, but many of our customers use the adapter under the bumper to power other accessories on the same circuit (such as underbody or wheel well lighting) so configuring it this way allows for future expandability.
@@StarkeyProducts Edit: Never mind, I found it on your site :)
Thanks for the thorough and quick reply! Do you sell just the "Y" harness by chance?
@@jimwithrow7643 Yes we sure do. It is found at the link below:

Just wondering, will this work on a super duty?
Hi Clay - Unfortunately it will not, but we are working on a Superduty version. If you send us an email we can add you to a list to be notified when it becomes available.
It looks like you used the same gray plug under the truck for both the bed lights and the puddle lights. If this is the case and you want to install both systems how do you go about that or are they different plugs.
Ken - that is correct, the same adapter is used on both products. You have two options - you can order normally and then just plug the 2nd Y-adapter inline with the first (there is nothing wrong with this, it just creates more wiring under the bumper and takes a few extra minutes to secure). Option 2 is you request our Deutsch splitter in place of one of the Y-adapters in either kit and then you can connect all 4 lamps with 1 Y-Adapter. The product I am talking about is below:

Please let me know if you have any other questions - thanks!
@@StarkeyProducts What is the amp draw to do as described (underbody and bed lights all run off of the rear harness)?
@@johndavidson9423 The draw is approximately 2 amps @ 12.6v between all 4 lights (2 underbody, 2 bed lights)
@@StarkeyProducts Thank you- Great products and support! I installed both the bed lights and the underbody lights in my 2022 F250 STX. Looks great!
@@johndavidson9423 Awesome John! Thanks for the feedback!
Any black friday codes or sales
Yes, please check our website for more details starting tomorrow! Thank you.
I do like the plug and play and the way it mounts. But without seeing how they look at night, I wouldn’t buy them. Why would you not show that unless it’s not that bright. 🤦🏻♂️
We actually do show that at the end of the video - 11:17 Nighttime Shots
