anyway i just finish install puddle light.i have to open the driver door panel and tap in 2 yellow color.those are 2 wire for puddle light mirror outside.The light will come on anytime i walk or unlock the car.when i press lock they wont light up and when i open the door they wont light up also.i watch some video from youtube and i see someone post video same puddle lightn with is 350.my is is 250 and when he open the door or unlock and the puddle light up.some one told me tap in to the door seal wires.i mean if i tap in door seal then i dont think they will light up when i unlock or lock the car or walk close up.i think they only light up when i open the door.i still dont know how can he wire to unlock and open the door and they light up.

I also got the VIP lights, im going to tap into the dome light, that way they light up when i walk by, when i open the door, when i turn of the car.
i think that would be better than tapping into the puddle lights in the mirror

I have a brand new set of VIP puddles that aren't chrome so no halo hot spotting will occur on the ground. PM me if you want them.
I got this set from clublexus user Trendy Todd

West Palm Beach.
I don't have a car to put them on. I sold my car. I plan on getting an IS-F that's why I am curious what dome wire to tap into.
I don't want these cause of the hassle and a half to install them.

I want to know the dome light wire to tap so I can run my side mirror puddle lights to that dome wire once I get my IS-F because I have a viper smart start that I took out of my IS250 and plan on installing it into the IS-F.
