Okay, so I know this is for interior lighting, but does anyone know which wire leads to the puddle lights? I'm adding some lights outside as puddle lights and want to tap into that wire. Don't want them to come on with the domes cause cops around here are the worst

Honestly install them the way Nitro has in his video...Little more wiring running but way more room to work. I ended up cutting a wire in my harness trying to remove that ridiculous cloth tape (its all fixed). There is a nice gap that you can reach up in front of the e-brake (press it down to make more room) and dang near reach the opening in the corner of the dash where you feed the wires down.

Can the puddle light wire be found behind the pillar by any chance?

I haven't done it yet, but I know the existing puddle lights pop out very easily (found out when I had a mirror slap with another truck and the wires were the only thing holding it on). Anyway, you should be able to pop it out, look at the color of wires, then find the same wires in the bundle behind the hood release lever.

I had been holding off future electrical projects because I was waiting on service manuals, due to be released March 17th.... but then they delayed them AGAIN, this time until September! Grrrr

The puddle lights wire comes out of the BCM on connector 7 terminal 8. Gray wire w/ green stripe. Only ? 7 connectors on BCM so it is on one end. Should be LT Gray.

Connector colors as follows. 1 NAT 2 L BLU 3 GRN 4,BLK 5 BRN 6 L PU 7 LT GRY.

Did you find that out by testing the wire? Just curious.

Installed my interior LED's yesterday, like the light and the look. I found it to be a real pain getting in a good position with that upper connector. Unplugged it and cut one tie strap which gave me just enough room. Being twisted up under the dash and working is not as easy as it used to be.

Bought them on Ebay. Here is the thread discussing installing them. They are bright but not overpowering, looks like the camera amplifies the light some.
