Anybody know if wiring for '06 Limited running board lights disconnects inside?

I have an '06 4Runner Limited, and removed the OEM lighted running boards days after I bought it. The harnesses for connecting the lights are hanging from the floorboards. I have them tucked into holes in the frame, but would prefer to remove them if there's a connector inside (haven't pulled the carpeting to check). I am guessing there might be, and some factory plugs to fill the holes. Can anybody confirm this??

Thanks
:cheers:

If you don't mind my asking, why did you remove the lighting? I have a '04 SR5 Model & I sure wouldn't mind having a pair of OEM running board lights, that's just me though....

I will be off-roading my 4Runner, and I learned long ago that running boards are a hindrance, and the first time they hit a rock, will not only destroy themselves, but damage the rocker panel, as well. Right now, I am bare rocker panels, but as soon as I sell them and the other parts I have up for sale from my FJC, I will be getting some rock sliders for protection.

Hope this helps with understanding my motivation...

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. Now I can see why you removed the running boards I haven't had a chance to go off roading yet (never did it before) so I can only imagine how annoying off roading can be with running boards attached. That is a very smart move on your part, BTW. I removed mine (Used to have a 3rd gen '99) just because I thought without them, the 4R looked a lot more beastly. Definitely did not think about the negatives when it came to off roading since I've never done it before.


Bump, this guy needs an answer to his question! :banana:
 
Do such holes exist in non-limited models? I have a 05 SE V6 and I want to install LED's on the bottom of my running boards and wired to come on when the truck is unlocked (just like the dome light). I want to know if I can run the wiring through the floor into the truck.

If you look at the link Chaz provided, you'll find another link that takes you to the .pdf install instructions -- apparently, there are rubber plugs through which you would cut a hole to pass the wiring through on an SR5 or SE...
