Pull the dome light down and look at the wiring colors. Then climb under the dash and find them.
Or you could run wire all the way up in the headliner and tap them at the dome light.
Good luck feeding wire through the door grommet.

so is the dome light the only way to go, if i want the door led handles to light up when i unlock and lock the doors, the dome is the only way to tap the wires into? any where else easier? thanx. so the stock alarm cant be helpful to it?

Well if you want the door leds to light up and stay lit when you open the car, it has to be to the dome light. They will shut off after a short period if you don't open the door. That's the only thing that turns on when you unlock. And when you lock I don't believe anything will happen.

no someone told me to go into the fuse box and look for the dome wires that hooks up to the fuse and tap it from there and install a amp relay as well.

i'm just saying its really not that hard. basically you want it to turn on when you unlock your car right. what else turns on when you unlock it? your dome light. basically it sends electricity to the dome. thus if you tap into that wire once the dome goes on your door handle light goes on.
i believe the dome light has a fuse, thus you don't need it, all you need is your led and the proper resister soldered on, buy some wire and tap it. its simple but takes a long time.
