Default jdm puddle light wiring question

i have my jdm puddle lights wires to switch but want it to come on when i walk near my car and wheni unloack the doors...i cant figure out wjere to wire it under the dash..i dont wanna take out my door panels and wire it up directly to the side mirrors leds...i am trying to wire it up in the fuse harness area. right now its wired up and when ever i pop my trunk the puddle lights come on . and the first time i thought i had it right but it only lights up when i open my driver door.???????


anyone have any ideas on proper wiring...the instructions that i got is for a
Is350 and i followed that thinking ill be the same but its pretty much bull**** cause it didnt work

Tim, its the blue wire.

Its a negative wire trigger. right behind the left panels where the mirror controls and stuff is at. Thin Blue wire (darker blue). use a test light.

I tried calling you but you didnt pick up.

It's cool tuan I think your way is different method of hooking it up.
My way works to too. This is how it work now.

1. When I walk up to the car the lights light up slowly
2. When walk away it will dim off slowly
3. At a distance when I unarm my car it will come on slowly
4. When I arm it will dim slowly
5. When I close my door I'll turn off
6. While driving when I hit the on button on the dome light my puddles will come on..no need for a separate switch..


This is how it want it, just like factory ...thanx for the heads up though..

Yea that's how i hooked up mine. So i took the red and went straight to positive constant and then the dome light is negative so i hooked that up to black wire.. to activate the light.

Either way works. You probably tapped into the white wire with red stripe. Make sure you fuse that sucker because if it blows.. you wiill be replace a big blade of fuse.

Can you post some pics of the wire? Can't visualize which wires you're talking about.
