Fitting Puddle Lights On Door Mirrors Is300

[TRIS300]

hi i am just wondering if any one has fitted puddle light to their door mirrors and wired them in with the central locking so they light up when i unlock the car and go off once the engine is started.

PLEASE HELP!

You'd be better off wiring them to the back interior light. It activates when you unlock the car and goes off when you start the engine, and then comes on again when you turn off the engine (or open the doors, can't quite remember). With the central locking you'd need a boat load of resistors to make them stay on for x amount of time, and you'd want them on for different lengths of time, depending what you're doing. With the interior light, they would be on from the moment you unlock the car and not turn off till you start the engine

X2 for using the interior light. I wired footwell lights in a previous car taking the feed from here. Worked very well.
