Rear courtesy light power?

Postby jakey » Wed Jul 03, 2013 4:30 pm

Has anyone attempted rear courtesy/puddle lights in Gen4?

Where should I pull power from and how do I control it so only on when door opens?

I am currently doing this now.. ;)

The way I'm going to do it is by using relays. My 12v source will be the wire for the boot light (somewhere under the back seat), the 'trigger' will be the door dome switch and I'll ground it under the seat somewhere.

Should work well.
