Can you please take a picture to show where the yellow wire is located?

I want my led foot well lights to stay on while driving at night and when I open the doors, this sounds like this would do the trick?!

Thanks Ralph

I decided to rewire them to the license plate lights signal since the dimmer circuit is a PWM signal and the leds weren't getting full 12VDC. This works better since they get 12VDC and full brightness and come on automatically whenever running lights are on, connect to BCM connector X4-13, GRN/YEL wire

Thank you for the wiring update!

What color is the BCM "connector X4-13", thanks again.

So... if the grey connector is X7, is the X4 connector the black connector???

I actually wired them as i mentioned previously, YEL wire (#6817) on pin 9 of BCM connector X7, works perfectly, the LED's can be dimmed with the dimmer +/- buttons whenever the instrument back lights are on, and they also come on automatically with driver door opening

This is exactly how I want to wire in my LEDs.  Have the ability to dim them and have them stay on at night.  Were you successful in doing this with the instructions above?
