Do you mean you want door puddle lights?
I think the sensor/switch is built into the latch, although not 100% sure.
Best way is take a feed from the front interior light. You can also buy the puddle lights, and they should come with bulbs.
(If this isn't what you meant, sorry!)

Yes,door puddle lights:). The switch is in the latch,i still didn't find it,'cause it's "deep in the door":) The feed from the interior light would be great,if i could find the wiring of it in the dash.In progress..
)Some better docs would be great:(

Unfortunately, you will have to run wires all the way up to the interior light. I looked everywhere and tested all wires and got the lights to turn on, but when locking the doors, the bulbs would blow! Something to do with a negative trigger with the door wires.
If they don’t fit the lights from the factory, the wires will NOT be there, trust me!

This PDF shows,that the bulbs always get the +12V,and the electronics controls the other line.So i searched for the control line,and found under the dash.The other line:I can get the +12V at the door.
What do U think?
