So do all years of the LX have them? I have a 99 amd don't see any lights under there. Would be stoked to have them!

I think you best best is to look under and check for the wiring harness that goes to the running boards. Or there should be a tube spanning the running board visible just looking at the vehicle. If there is a pin stripe looking thing, that's it.

Yeah I did earlier before posting and just looked again. Don't see anything that looks like lights. They might have done that in 2000 when they added some stuff like wooden steering wheel, shifter, etc.
I also looked in the FSM and it says to remove the side steps just unbolt them and no mention of a wiring harness. Sad day for me as I was looking forward to buying the prewired LED lights to keep the fade out function. Oh well. First world problems!
Necro-post I guess, but my driver’s side running board lights are out. Ordered the 891 bulbs for end caps (from an earlier post) but it looks a lot different on my 2004 LX.
This is the front end. The tube light is behind the white + black plug at the center-bottom of the pic. Running board power is top right. I have not figured out how to unplug the white + black plug non-destructively yet. If anyone knows, would love the help!
The puddle lamps look to be separate. They use a 194 bulb and are easy to change.
Two screws and you are done for these.

I just did this on mine. There is a lightbulb on either side of the fiber optic tube on the inside of the running boards. You don’t have to remove the running boards nothing crazy there’s little flaps in the wheel wells right there connecting to the step board you can turn the front wheel whichever way to give you more room, but you kind of been that cover open and then there is a tube that you slide left and that lightbulbs in there, however, the lightbulb that was in there, and the lightbulb that is recommended for that is not nearly bright enough. I had a hard time finding LEDs that would work they do have to be the “G4“ connection. I’m purchasing new ones I would suggest getting LEDs with as high lumen as possible and ones that are encased in a cone like housing.
They required G4 connection 12 V AND DC only
Unfortunately, the only ones they have at the auto stores are very expensive. They’re only halogen and they’re not even close to being bright enough.
I pulled my running boards and am getting rid of them. Anyone want to take them off my hands for the lights / wiring? Lights on both sides worked when removed.

Removed these running boards and no longer need them. The passenger side is in great shape; driver side has some damage but looks OK when mounted. Lights on both sides work. I’ve also seen people...
