Default Adding ambient lighting

I have 16 xlt and I want to add the lighting to the door handle area. Just like the 502a package. What would you guys recommend and what wires to I tap into?

Is that the lighter blue color? How many wires are on them? I'm just looking to tap into something not run everything off the apim.

yes it is the lighter blue that matches every other light in the truck. they have 3 wires because you can control the brightness through the apim. I'd guess hooking the 2 power wires and not the LIN wire would light them up. guess you'd have to figure out which wires light up the window switches or run wires into the door as in that thread.
