Puddle/Courtesy lights under mirror

This is my first post on the forum and i wanted to say thanks to everyone with all their knowledge that i used while looking through the forum

I have a 2015 tacoma and i would like to install leds under the mirror to work as a courtesy/puddle light. I want them to come on when I unlock the truck or open a door. Does anyone know where I can tap into to get that desired outcome? thank you

 

Probably tap into the footwell area that work in line with the dome light or up in the a pillar area?

 

The wires are blue and white its a black plug behind the removable little tray

I’m not too familiar with 2nd gen but knew it would be around there

 

Wow this couldn’t have been better. this is exactly what I had in mind. Where in the truck did you tap the wires for power?

 

I think the 12Vdc is the power and the other is the ground

how did you get the wire from the door to the truck? did you just fish the wire through the boot?

 

I just pushed a heavy gauge wire through the door into the truck and the grabbed it with some needle nose plyers
