Actually forgot about it when I saw you the other day. I think I only need the one that needs to be swapped out under the dash.

Derek, i'll bring the led/resistors with me tomorrow and give you a call around lunchtime possibly as ill be at school anyways.

IDK what the hell I did wrong, now the driver side/passenger side/trunk courtesy lights don't turn on.

There was a cajillion wires in the fuse box so I went straight to the +/- wires coming from the courtesy light, the + wire I started to skin off the plastic so I could splice, then all of a sudden the light doesn't turn on.

I checked the fuses and they're A-okay. Any ideas of what it could be?

Can someone post a picture of the fuse box area and highlight which wires provide power to the door courtesy lights?

I just did mine and it looks perfect. I decided to follow my wires back to the fuse box so I wouldn't have to remove my headliner. The outcome is perfect.

Heres a video I did to show how it feeds off the dome lights power and fades off with it too. It looks like a factory feature that should have been there from the beginning.

Maybe I should do this for when the door opens light goes on! The only thing I have similar to this is just RGB leds with color module controlled by separate switch. And the good thing is that my radio can match any color :D.
