I have the 04 XLS with just the power mirrors, no puddle/heat. I bought the heated mirrors to find out my harness isn't wired for them. So now I'm just going to ignore the heated part and wire up the puddle light to my dome. The mirrors are slightly higher and I like them anyways.
So I have this wire I'm trying to hook up to the dome light for the puddle light to work. Would hooking it into the switch behind the dash work? What about the door switch? I know most of the switches connect to relays and it can be bad to hook it up directly. If not, what's the best was to get to the overhead light wires? What pillar do they run? What color are the wires?
Note: I don't know how to remove overhead panels, so that's out of the answer. I am also running a LED.
