Default Is this the dome light power wire?

I知 trying to wire up some puddle lights for when I open my doors they illuminate. I know the wire color is yellow-green but I see 2 yellow-green wires coming from the BCM.

I知 tapping into the yellow-green coming from the grey plug since that is the one that powers the parking lights so I知 assuming this other yellow-green wire from the brown plug could be the dome light.

Year, make, model, trim level etc...... The net is a wonderful tool but lacks mind readers.

Ahh IC said the blind man, ok well the yellow/green wire is not the one you want to tap, it's the violet wire, here's a wiring diagram for the factory puddle lights.

Now the issue how痴 best to find that purple wire at the BCM? Does to say which connector?

Not good at ready what the numbers mean at the BCM connection but I guess I need to find a solid purple.

That's all I have. The BCM is not in the pic for clarity.
