footwell lights
i just installed footwell lights under the dashboard on both sides. anyone know a good thing to hook them up to so that they will come on when the car is stopped and or when the doors are opened? something fairly simple to wire up. i used to have a neon hooked up to the coin tray light so it would only come on when the lights are on but i dont want these lights on while driving. any ideas?

Like DJ2max said, this would be similar to the anniversary door sills. You would need to tap into the courtesy light and "to do so there are positive and negative contacts in the rear of the assembly. You will need additional 24AWG wiring to reach the rear of that assembly so choice wisely." -Maxima.org instructional. As far as how to get it there which I understand is the real question at this point, I would somehow use the stock harness/gromet at the hinges of the door, other than that, I'm stumped as to do it any better. Lets see some pics of the final. Good luck
