Led Lights
hey all. i just purchased the PILOT 15" led flex-lite in blue. i bought it with the intention to put it under each door so that when i open the doors theres light there to see what im stepping in. I think they are called courtesy lights as per other companys that have them. i want them to turn on when the door opens and turn off then i close the door. Just like the interior lights do it. Anyone have step by step instructions for me? I am novice in the electrical field but not retarded. thanks for your help.

Simpliest thing to do is to wire them into eash exsisting footwell light under the dash on each side. Route the wires behind the door panel and throught the door hinge accordian to the footwell lights.
You might want to make a roll of play dough or clay the same thickness as the strips and place it where you want under the door and close the door, then open it and check for any deformation in the clay to make sure you have enough room for the strips under there... If there isn't you could mount them right under the interior door panels.
I assume the bars are pre-wired for 12 volt applications?
