Default Electrical Help...

Getting my set of LED's from Brabus for my puddle lights coming. They ingeniously have it tapped into the dome light so the puddle lights dim as you start the car etc. Well, my question is, where's the best place to tap for that power? I want to avoid running the wire all the way up to the dome light area for obvious reasons so i'm think of finding the wire to the puddle lights on the side mirrors. Anyone with the electrical diagram of the car can lead me to the right place/easiest to tap into?

Thanks.

I don't understand. Don't you already have puddle lights? You're referring to the lights under the side mirrors, right?

no i wont get offended. It's the small little details. Mind you it's not something like underbody neon...it illuminates with the OE puddle lights and shuts off. It's more or less a look, VIP/Exe Style i'm going for.
