I've been looking at getting some strip lighting for the doors, more as a safety/asthetics thing. How did you wire them up, to the door switch or some other harness...? Is the door switch just a relay or can you pull power from it?

Hey pete, i wired these up by tapping with the dome lights and put a switch between it, so everytime when the door opens the LED strips light will come on..

I can also switch them off by putting a switch between it.. ill grab a pic for you of the switch brb lol

Here it is Pete :D

So basically the LED is getting power from the dome light itself, so if i turn the custom switch off, the dome light still works but the LED will not.

Hope this helps :)

Its easy to do, but takes alot of stripping the side panels and such, cause i did it on all 4 doors :)

So you had to run 4 different cables from the dome light down each B-pillar then to the door hinges? Sounds quite involved.... LOL
Must be an easier way to tap the relay behind the dash assembly where the dome is fed power. :) :)
