I've read through all the threads I could find on this and it seems most folks are using this method to power them. However I have the opposite question that doesn't seem to be stated on any of them. Do they power down when the dome lights turn off? Plan on doing this in the next few months when it warms up and trying to plan out this mod and others.

Yes.

That gray wire basically is the wire that activates the dome lights, so whenever the upper lights are on in dome light mode anything else tapped in there will also be on. if you turn the overhead lights on manually (map lights feature) it won’t turn on your floor lights, so it works just like you need.

note though that this wire will do a PWM fade to make the dome lights fade in and out, so take that into account when attaching things do the circuit. I’m not sure how much extra load it will handle but it can definitely power more than what’s there from the factory. I have a couple of LED bolts attached to it.

Good to know. Thanks for the additional info!
