Do Lights Need to be Spliced on B&W Custom Headache Rack for 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty
Question:
Im trying to hook up the brake lights, turn signals and running lights in my headache rack to my 2017 F350. Is there a harness that I can buy to hook it up or do I need to splice into the wiring harness? Right now I have it plugged into the 4 plug trailer plug but it thinks there is a trailer hooked up

You will need to splice into the wiring of your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty to get the LED lights to work when installing the B&W Custom Headache Rack w/ LED Brake, Turn, Tail Lights # BWPUCP7502WA.
If you take a look at the cut out of the installation manual that I have added, you can see what needs to be done. The instructions state, "Splice the tail of the cab protector wiring harness into the vehicle's wiring. The green wire is for the passenger side turn signal and braking. The yellow wire is for the driver side turn signal and braking. The brown wire is for clearance (lights). The white wire is for ground. ... When installed correctly the two outside lights will function as stop, turn and tail lights while the inside two lights will only function as tail lights."
