IOM = Inferno Orange Metallic (Orange) for those who asked. Take a look at our Facebook Fan Page and see some of the bundle "deals" that we have on the "shop now" tab. http://www.facebook.com/?page=1&sk=m...7783795&ref=ts I kinda like the tapping into the dome light myself since it becomes rather automatic, but there are those who want full manual control over it. The three way switch is another great idea! Best of luck and post up some finished pics when you're done! Ivan @ Southwest Speed |

The grey wire I mentioned is on the BCM, not the passenger side.

When I wired mine up I just t-tapped the passenger side wire into the driver side positive wire. This way Otis all wired to the dome light. As for grounding if you take off the side panels for the center console there is a bolt on both the passenger and driver side. This is a ground, you can tell because Oshawa marked it with a sharpie, the color may vary. |

When I did my footweel lighting I too tapped in the gray wire above the gas pedal, but then I ran an extra wire to the passenger side underneath the center console by the gas pedal behind the carpet. I found on the Passenger side a small part of the underdash that had a hole that I could use to thread a screw through and use a double nut to secure it. I put my LED light that was in its holder onto the threaded screw and that served as it ground. The power line was what I ran. I have attached a few pics to give you an idea of how I did mine.
I am working on installing rear courtsey lights in the rear side panels that are a throwback to the types of lights used in the 60's.

Looking backwards. LOL. I got the idea from my 65 Mustang Fastabck that has rear courtsey lights for the rear fold down seat. These are the same lights and work great with an 1156 T-18SMD cool white bulbs.

I used the driverside bolt. Get a spade or o-ring and crimp it on your grounding wire. Works great.

If I tap into the grey wire and put it on a rocker switch, can I just turn it on whenever I want?
