    Hello everyone, I have searched for awhile and I can't seem to find a dome light wire thread. Everyone seems to tap into the third brake light cargo wire but not the interior dome. Does anyone know where to find the dome light hot wire so I can add my interior leds. My lights are already wired up to the little curtesy light under the drivers dash but they only come on when the doors are open. I want them to come on when I turn on my interior dome lights too, so I can illuminate the floors while driving...Or should I just tap into the interior lights fuse? Any help is appreciated.

    I have not changed any of my interior lights or done any interior wiring, so can't help ya on this one. Someone will chime in hopefully. Maybe go to the "ask the toyota mechanic thread" ?

    I'm sure that the trigger for the overhead lights is under the dash, I'm just not sure of the color or location. I dont have access to the directechs website at home but I'll look in the morning when I get to the shop. If i can find it I'll let you know.

    @motorswin, directed lists the dome light wire as blue and it's located at the interior light switch on the dash, black 12 pin plug, pin 11. That's for the 3rd gen. Hope that helps...and I won't even give you shit for the packers beat down last night :D

    Haha thank you, I'll check it out this weekend. Can't make excuses for them. Penalties and injuries hurt us.

    Looking for the same dome light wire in my 18 crewmax to tie in my running board leds so they will stay on after you close the door.
