I can't find what Im looking for on here and on google. Maybe I'm typing it wrong. I want to hook up led lights to the back seat so my sons can see in the back when I open the door. Where could I find the wire so I can splice into it.
Thanks.
 
I would do it right there at the foot well lights on both sides. There should be 2 lights up under the dash that the connector for the bulb will twist out of the mounting bracket. Once you get the plug off of the bracket, it should be easier to tap into.
 
It should be real easy to do it that way. The main thing is to make sure the + and - are right before you make it permanent. The wires going to the LEDs can be tucked underneath the carpet on both sides.
 
Get constant power from the battery or a constant wire at the ignition switch/fuse box and run it back to the positive of the LED strip, then wire the negative to each one of the door pins, when the door is open the door pin is grounded, when it is closed its open. Easiest way to do it imo.
