No everyone. This is not a rice thing. I am not trying to bling my car. I wanna install LED underbody so when I unlock the doors, the lights will come on and illuminate the floor. It looks nice and will show me of any puddles. Does anyone know where I should hook up the power supply so when the doors unlock, the lights turn on? Probably tap into either the LEDs from the mirrors (dunno where that wire is), or the interior lights (dunno where that is either). Did anyone do this yet? Thanks,.

A completely OEM solution would be to go for the mirrors with the puddlelamps in them.

I thought the same thing but from the sound of his OP, it seems as if he may already have them...

With our LED Puddle Light Kits, we recommend running the power source into the passenger side footwell to tap into the interior lights.

We don't expect to carry white for sometime as we have the other colors in stock right now. You will run the power wires from the passenger side wheel well, into the glove box area to tap into the footwell lights. There is a rubber grommet to go through the firewall through the engine bay into the cabin for power.

I bought two sets of white puddle lights from JLevis when I got mine, I'll sell my extra set to you
