Well I was trying to be safe, and not solder anything, and used 2 LEDs in the maplight area wired to the dome light.. Worked fine for about 5 minutes, until the switch cut through the plastic shielding, and shorted the damn thing! :doh!!!!!:

So in my attempts to be more safe and not blow it out, i did anyway.

Pisses me off to no end, but now ive gotten so used to it...

I don't know why I've read from a bunch of people that they don't like soldering. Soldering always makes the best connections, ones that don't jiggle loose and screw things up. I would really recommend learning how and getting good at it... its a really good skill to have.

I thought of that too, but thats a long run, and i dont know if the puddle light circuit could take the extra voltage (since the one for the interior is so sensitive..)

I did hear that some junkyard in CA is selling BIU for ~200$ which i might get, but ive had my lights off for so long now..

use the puddle light in conjunction with a relay. then it wouldn't add any extra current. Would be a lot of wiring, but way less than 700 bucks (or 200 bucks).

Of course, if you screwed up the walkthrough, then I'm not sure how apt you would be for setting it up with a relay (no offense).

Yup, I just started this mod, but couldn't find the box of connectors I swore I had, so I soldered it as well. Better connection anyways.

Works great. I always hated pushing the button twice.
