hi, I purchased a set of running boards, they are on no drama. the problem is the instructions say nothing about the lights on the running boards let alone where the wires should go. I assume they go under the car where the door lights plug in but there is nowhere for them to go. do i need to buy some sort of clip to house all of the 6 wires???

I have to be honest, because this isn't a factory part, I'm not sure what I am dealing with. As far as the lights, you need to get power from the same supply that runs the interior lights. You want them to turn on when the door is opened. If you want, upload a few pictures of what you are dealing with and I'll try to help you.
