I need help installing door courtesy lights

I have a 2011 Tundra and we all know they don't come with real door lights. Well I purchased aftermarket door lights and I'm having issues finding the correct wires to splice into within the floor panels. Can anyone assist me?

 

Have to use a diode at every door pin to make them work them per door.

 

So that little light bulb under the footwell gave enough power to power both sides?

 

Leds like that are in milliamps not amps.

 

Ok so I recently posted asking how to door courtesy door lights. Well I have completed the task. If you are interested I can tell you how I did it.

 

I think you should do a MOD write-up on this and post it.

 

sounds good. I will post it sometime tomorrow.

 

Hey Johnnie,
I have been waiting to see your post. I am about to do the same thing myself. I have the lights but they did not come with the harness to plug into the light. It would be great to see how you did it.

 

Tundros Did you locate wires in the door to tap into? I'm looking at doing this same mod! Or does anyone else know?

 

I did the led in the footwell too, works great, just tapped into factory light wires in footwell

 

Ok I understand that you can do that but to tap into that and run power into all four doors is a lot of work if there are wires that are already hot for the courtesy lighting. I'm curious if there are wires in each door that you can tap into to power the courtesy lights if installed. Has anyone tested the wiring harness for courtesy power before?

 

I have 2 70 inch led strips. 1 on each side for running lights. I want to hook up the courtesy lights. Where do I need to tap in to get enough power?

 

It's a 2016 Toyota tundra double cab 4x4

 

Anyone know about the harness that would be in the door if the truck came with puddle lights? Buddy of mine has a 12 rw. He bought some lights that project tundra on the ground. They appear that they should be plug and play with a truck that came with those lights, his did not. I'd like to be able to buy the pigtail from say Roman but I dont know if I even can. Anyone got any ideas
