Where to wire in ambient footwell lighting?

I have a pair of ambient footwell lighting (CCFL). Anyone know where to tap in to 12v to have them go/off with the dome lighting? I want them to come up when I unlock the doors or when the door is open and then go off with the normal dome light.

Ooh! Finally looks like we may be able to not run a wire to the dome lamp!

Do we know where K9 physically is?

Looks like the BCM (K9) is located to the right of the steering column, above the accelerator pedal.

Just remember that you do this stuff AT YOUR OWN RISK. If something happens it might effect some parts of your warranty .

Ok, so what wire is it that we tap into for the light connections?

Oh thanks for schematic

so I think we just connect the alimentation of light with the 156 WH wire in K9 block, and connect ground wires together.
