Do you mean you want door puddle lights?

I think the sensor/switch is built into the latch, although not 100% sure.

Best way is take a feed from the front interior light. You can also buy the puddle lights, and they should come with bulbs.

(If this isn't what you meant, sorry!)

Yes,door puddle lights:). The switch is in the latch,i still didn't find it,'cause it's "deep in the door":) The feed from the interior light would be great,if i could find the wiring of it in the dash.In progress..:))Some better docs would be great:(

Unfortunately, you will have to run wires all the way up to the interior light. I looked everywhere and tested all wires and got the lights to turn on, but when locking the doors, the bulbs would blow! Something to do with a negative trigger with the door wires.

If they don’t fit the lights from the factory, the wires will NOT be there, trust me! :oops:

This PDF shows,that the bulbs always get the +12V,and the electronics controls the other line.So i searched for the control line,and found under the dash.The other line:I can get the +12V at the door.
What do U think? :)
