Need some advice
I am looking to put white leds under the door handles on my car....anyone have a suggestion on where to tap the power into? I am thinking something like dome lights because they come on when you unlock the car. If so, does anyone know where the easiest/most accessible place to tap into that?

tap power from a source that turns on when you lift the handle or use the keyfob to open the door (dome light circuit) or from constant power with a trigger that activated via the dome light circuit( clock/radio circuit)

Dome Supervision, green/red wire, negative polarity, green 5 pin plug, rear of fuse box. this is for a 06 TL, should be the same wiring as the 07 but you never know.
