    I'd like to add puddle lights to my 2010 dcsb on the same function as the map/dome lights. (Already have the map/dome mod.) So my question is where do I splice into so the puddle lights will work with the map/dome lights? I've seen similar threads with information saying a blue wire in the A-pillar but cannot find said wire.

    I am also curious to know. What lights are you using for puddle lights?

    As of right now some 12" led strips I picked up from a friend. I believe they're from Autozone but I don't have any packaging.
