Help with door lights - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #95030 6 posts Started by msk59
I plan on installing door handle LEDs in my car. I would like them to come on with lights on but there is no such power going to the doors. Can someone help me with how to wire them from the lights to the door? I can pull a wire from the parking lights and run them through the door but everything is so jam-packed, it is hard to run the wire without taking everything out.

Any other ideas?

If you can identify the power wire for the lights in the window controls, you could splice that and keep everything tidy and in one space. Other option that is eay to identify is the cigarette lighters light source wire, splice that and put in two lines out (one to each door) and just run them through with the factory wires into the doors.

The only think I didn't think of was the windows power wiire. Thank you so much. I think I can do this.

I put LEDs in there, I'll have to search for my post later


Click Here for my link. I put LEDs in almost anything you can think of a few years back lol. It's pretty easy. I probably ran it off the cig lighter power as well (with another switch so it's not on 24/7). You can run the wires through the door, the same loom the other power wires go through. Let me know if you have any questions about it

I've spilt my heart into this car :) And I don't ever plan to stop- 6GC for Life ->Semper Fi<1994 Cupra :p 3sgte1995 Celica ST DD1969 Chevelle SSalllll balls. P2 approved!
Thanks, this is exactly I want to do my lights so at night time they stay ON with the lights. Running the wires to the door through the loom is difficult witht everything in place. I took out the glovebox but have to be careful becuase of the airbag wiring is plugged in the back of it. Bringing the wire to the door is not difficult, running it through the door is difficult.

Right now I have all the seats out and adding sound deadning inside the front and back doors and trunk. I am using Frost King foil and foam sealer from Home Depot.

Do you have any better pictures of the where the led bulb was installed?
