How do I wire in some aux lights so that they will light when my door opens?

 

25 views and no reply...? well I figured it out anyway... so here is the pic!

Set of blue puddle lights! I used 2 15" adhesive LED strips from autozone! They are thin enough to fit in the door jam and easy enough to wire in after you figure out that the switch in your door that turns your dome light on and off is a grounding switch. it provides a ground when your door is open and breakes the circuit by removing the ground when it shuts...

 

Awesome lookin' dude! Check out some of the other xB "LED" related threads and make the entire interior glow the same color! ;]

nice to see people doing original stuff to their TC !!

 

lunarsword.... did you figure this out? i'm gonna do this soon as well i really like the grounding switch door button idea...

 

or anyone who has done this... (phantom'07) can you maybe just share a pic of how the wires look that are tapped into the door switch?
