    That's what I had in mind I just wasn't sure I remembered how the dome lights behaved on my Tacoma. I know on my Optima they came on as you approach (proximity sensing key fob) and then after you lock it they stay on for a bit and then fade out. If that's the case I'll probably do the same on the Tacoma while I'm pulling wires into the doors anyway.

    Now that is how I have been doing it for years.... thought I was the only one smart enough to figure it out.

    One is for interior LED lights. One for a power inverter and the last one for the 12v plugs in the rear.
