Interior lit door handles Retrofit questions
Ok, so I have a 95 with no puddle lights and no lit interior door handles. I was able to snatch a full set from a parts yard years ago. I am now FINALLY taking my DD 750 offline to do the upgrades along with door speakers and window track greasing.
Anyway, I spliced the wire for ground, no issue. The Gray with red stripe that I pulled from the bone yard DOES NOT power the bulb in the older 7. I know the power command comes in from the smaller black connector, I believe its the blue wire, since its the illumination wire in the radio?
I know someone on here has done this upgrade, but I can't remember their name, but does anyone know the correct wiring for the older cars to retrofit the interior warm glow?
I am going to wire the puddle lights to the courtesy light at the bottom of each door wiring harness, should be just fine there, unless someone has a different idea.
I will post my findings if no one else can remember.
Thanks
