courtesy lights

I did some searching on here, couldn't really find what I needed. Any of you guys that have added courtesy lights, can you show me where you tied the orange wire in. I have a good idea, just want to make sure.

Thanks

Tom

Talking Re: courtesy lights

The orange and white wires that go to the dome light near the bottom of the fuse box. If you buy the kit from one of the vendors, it has a connector that you plug into the factory dome light harness and piggy back the dome light harness. Pretty easy to do...

Re: courtesy lights

I've got a couple of these, but just haven't had a chance to put it in. I figure I'd have one good kit between the two

Re: courtesy lights

I use the lights from CST K/5s and plug them in at the factory location. Does someone reproduce these or is there some other kit?
