[QUOTE="b1pig, post: 1536160, member: 29440"] I figured it out. I did some google searches and found courtesy light harnesses for sale on ebay. With that, I pulled the a-pillar covers off of the car and traced the harness. For CONVERTIBLES, the harness runs across the top of the windshield from the mirror, down the passenger side a-pillar to the side of the dash. The harness is pinned to the body behind and to the right of the glovebox. Pulled that out and found a junction plug. Since I'm not using the upper harness, I cut it above the plug. The black is ground, green is battery and black with blue trace is the courtesy light. The clear LED lights I was going to use was depressingly dim. As much as I would rather have white/cool-white LED lighting for the courtesy lights, I had a pair of blue LED strips that I never installed on our boat.... sssssoooooo.... I have them installed. The clear lights I had already ran before I tested them. Now I remember why I used some of the LED modules on my kids' power wheels jeep several years ago. They're useless. I just tied the wires up and left them. The blue turned out good. My phone died while I was out there. I'll post up some pics of the harness location tomorrow. Ok.. later today since it's already 2am. :rolleyes: I'm guessing the coupe should be pretty much the same as the 'vert to keep the body harnesses as much the same as possible. Might prove useful for someone else. Till then, here's a pic of the interior with the "courtesy" lights on. [ATTACH type="full"]31553[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
