the easiest way to wire them in is to find the illumination wire behind the stereo and wire them into that its just a 12v+ and find a ground. they will come on with the parking/headlights

Parking Lights GRAY (+) IN HARNESS IN DRIVER KICKPANEL TO REAR

this is for you parking lights so that whenever you turn on your parking lights they come on. *****Make sure you test this wire before you tap into it*****

if you want them to come on when you open the doors then I will have to walk you through on how to do it as your door trigger wires are a negative trigger and you need a positive trigger in order for it to work. Not hard at all just let me know.

also, when you test these wire (if you have a multi-meter) they will read 0 when you probe the wire and then when you open a door or turn on your parking lights it will go up to about 12v. turn the lights on and off or close the door and open it just to make sure that it is the wire. when doing this it will continue to go from 0 (switch off or door closed) to 12v (switch on or door open)

nuStang · April 18th, 2009, 01:46 PM

Also thinking about this kind of thing. (as well as the fact that everything I decide to do is a pain in the ass..) but what if you wanted them to come on when the doors are open, as well as when the lights are on?

wraitherx · April 18th, 2009, 07:04 PM

All Door Trigger BLACK/WHITE (+) 20 PIN CONN. PIN 3 AT THE GEM MODULE UNDER THE LEFT SIDE OF DASH IN DRIVERS KICK PANEL

this is what you are looking for. all you would have to do is when you purchase your lights is to take the positive and tap it into the above wire then take ground to a bare piece of metal.

you can read what I wrote above on how to test the wires if you have a multi-meter.
