I would like to wire my puddle lamps to turn on with park and headlamps. I’m going to put a amber lens or bulb in the puddle lights.. similar to some Super Duty Fords with the side mirrors illuminated.
Just wondered if anyone would have suggestions or know how?

Thia is for the mirror puddle lamps, right?

I believe you can do it, just have to follow the FSM to see all the relevant wires. I wired mine to the dome lights, because some circuit feeding the door puddle lamps cooked.

Snip the wire that comes from the door puddle lamp to the mirror. Find a way to:
1. Splice it into the parking light wire in the engine bay/ relay box
2. Supply constant to it like the parking lights and splice in a relay to the turn signal, which is how I believe the headlights work.

Puddle lamps. Never heard of that term before. I like it.
