Default Help on dome light wires

Does any one know the wiring colors for the dome light on a 1995 SC400. Got some Brabus underbody leds and wanted to tap into the dome light to activate them. Thanks

Why tap into those? Youd have to have the dome light on whenevr the the neons are on, and I know I hate having that light on when driving at night. Id say install a simple little toggle swtich either under the dash or near your seat to activate the neons

Wanted them to activate when the dome light is set to door mode. So when i open the door they will come on and fade out like the dome light does when you close the door. I think i'll be the first SC guy to do this mod, i know alot of GS guys have done it. Their actually 5 led's per pod mounted into the side skirts.

So i thinking of a three way toggle switch. Dome light colors are (Grn/Brn=Pos, Gry/Brn=Neg). Would this work if i set these on one terminal for door activation, led's Pos/Neg on middle terminal and tap into my cigarettte lighter for my constant power terminal.
