What wire do I tap for ambient lighting? I want the light only to come on with the parking/headlights. I tried fuse 21 for parking lamps. That was constant power. I tried fuse 10 for auxiliary power but that was constant power as well. Pulled the headlight switch but that only goes to ground and it says not to splice there.

I also tried the solid brown wire in the drivers floor board like mentioned in another thread but that didn't work either.

A little help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Passenger kickpanel. Fuse 10 is puddle/ interior lights. The park lights are in there to

I want them to come on when the parking lights are on not only when the doors are open

Parking lights wire is violet with white stripe. You can tap into it right behind the headlight switch.

Hmm, when I tested all the wires behind the light switch last night I didn't get any power from any of them, maybe I had a bad ground.

I will try this, thanks!

It might only have power if the switch is turned on, I'm not sure?? That is where I tapped into for my boost gauge light and it works when the parking lights are on.

Awesome! Thank you!

That wire worked (though it was violet and very light grey )

So now, whenever the parking lights are on so is my ambient. I also wired a switch in for when I don't want them on. I am wanting to find a controller though for brightness, or I might just use some resistors but I would like the customization of a controller.

Any suggestions on controlling the brightness?

To this same note I have a question. I have a autopage alarm. It already makes the Flashers flash on lock and unlock but I want it to turn the dome lights on to. I know what wire does the lights but should I wire straight to it or find the relay? Any help is appreciated

so use the violet/grey wire for power, where did you ground at? im looking to install some ambient as well. thanks! Nick
