Constant 12v in the door

[cybercoaster]

Yes, I searched the forums but was unable to find any information. I want to rewire up ambient lighting so it doesn't dim. I have changed mine to red and would like it bright all the time. Anyone know what wires are 12v constant in the drivers and passenger doors with key on?

Do the window switches light up??

Yes, made those red too. I dont care if those dim at this point. I would just like the door lighting not to dim without running my own 12v. There has to be a 12V in one of those wires.

if you tie it to your window switch you can control the brightness with the switch near your steering colum which controls the brightness of all your interior ambient lighting. I dont know what you mean my "Dim" the only thing that should dim is your dome light.

There is no constant 12V source inside the door that I know of. You can just turn up the brightness all the way via the little wheel thingy

Window switch lights are controlled by the same wheel thingy that controls the ABL brightness.

Driver Door is RED/WHITE
