Default Lighting help

Does anyone know how to turn on the puddle lights under the sidemirrors on command? I notice it only turns on, unless I unlock the car. If anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks!

Hmmm you'd probably have to do some modification to the wiring there and wire it to a switch. Might be an interesting little project, but don't see many reasons why you'd want the mirror lights on any other time then when your getting into the car lol.

Yes, you can if you know how to do it properly without breaking the mirror in the process.

I had Lexus change my lights to LED's which I supplied which were from JLC.
