THE ORIGINAL SINCE 2002—LED LIGHTING FOR STYLE AND VISIBILITY
The original power-retractable running boards since 2002—now with customizable LED edge lighting built in. The AMP Research® PowerStep™ Vision running boards combine proven PowerStep technology with an integrated LED lighting system that pulls double duty—full illumination when the steps deploy for improved visibility after dark, then color-customizable accent lighting when retracted for a distinctive, personalized look along the rocker panel. Style and function in a single system, with no aftermarket lighting kit required.
Built to perform year after year, the PowerStep Vision running boards are constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum with an advanced powder coat finish engineered to withstand rigorous daily use. Stainless steel hinge pins and hardware add long-term durability at every pivot point. Each board supports up to 300 lbs. per door—the same proven load capacity as the full PowerStep family.
The integrated LED edge lighting runs the full length of each board, adding a distinctive glow that enhances visibility and personalizes your vehicle’s appearance after dark. A 6-in.-wide, slip-resistant step surface delivers stable footing in all conditions, and the boards deploy automatically when a door opens—always there when needed, retracting tight and out of sight when not in use. Ground clearance stays maximized, and bodylines stay clean whether the steps are extended or tucked away.
Full control over the PowerStep Vision’s lighting and operation is available through the AMP Research Smart Series smartphone app—available for iOS and Android. Customize lighting colors and functions, or command deployment and retraction on demand, all from your phone. AMP Research’s patented plug-n-play design connects directly to your vehicle for seamless integration—no improvised attachments, no complicated wiring, no magnet alignment issues. Vehicle-specific fitment ensures a clean, factory-level install.
Professional installation is recommended for all PowerStep Vision running boards. All hardware, bracketry, wiring, and vehicle-specific instructions are included. Drilling is required on select applications. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
Product Highlights
Cleaning your PowerStep: In adverse conditions, debris such as mud, dirt, and salt may become trapped in the running board mechanism, possibly leading to unwanted noise, or binding.
Prepare for cleaning
Manually set the running boards to deploy: The running boards can be manually set in the deployed position by opening the door, and then place your foot on the step. Leave firm pressure with your foot on the step while you close the door. This will leave your steps in the deployed position.
How to maintain your steps: Using a pressure washer to clean the front and rear linkages which are all 4 hinge points for your PowerSteps. Avoid spraying the motors directly.
After washing, apply silicone spray (dry Film lubricant) only, to all 4 linkage arms and all pivot pins, some of these pins will be located up high on the linkage arm as well. Then cycle the door to work the lubrication in to the hinge points.
Do not apply silicone, wax, or protectants like Armor All® to the running board. Do not lubricate with any greases, oils, WD-40, or penetrants.
This cleaning should be done periodically, or when debris such as mud, dirt or salt becomes trapped in the running board mechanism.
