    @MESO while you're in there, resigning the T harness, any way to maybe shorten the leads so it fits better in the pillar?

    Look up the directions for the accessory bed lights some Toyota dealers sell online. They tap into the third brake light bed light switch and work as you are describing. It has been a year since I put mine in and forget which wires to tap into.

    Thanks for guiding me in the right direction. Looks like this might work:

    I got the shipping notification for both of the puddle lights...
    Guess I couldn't cancel the order on the first puddle lights.
    What to do with the extra.

    And I guess since the first names for the two separate orders were different (real and nickname), they will be shipped separately too.

    I'm thinking about doing all three mods in one shot. KTJO Power folding mirror, MESO puddle lights, and passenger door keyless entry.

    I'm definitely doing the puddle and the passenger door keyless entry at the same time. But not sure when I will get my hand on KTJO 4x4 power-folding mirror kit. (One would have to place an order first, to get one. lol!!!)

    Based on the thread of the 3rd gen Tacoma Power Folding Mirror, it is possible with a slight modification and gap fixing.
