i have an extra set of lights i found in the garage, and was wondering if anyone has placed them underneath the KJ to go on when the unlock button on the transponder key is pressed? thanks!

underneath the KJ? you mean outside.
If they are not that high wattage, you could probably tap into any one of the lights (preferbly the one that's under the steering column) and run the wires to those lights.. If they are strong, you might have to use something in the middle like a relay so that the power from the light activates the relay and turns on the lights..


Hmm sounds like I learned a few things from my recent lights investigation. What do you think

Drill through the floor!! :twisted: Or just run through firewall inside. But my concern is, all interiour lights Dim slowly and then turn off, would that be a problem.. That would mean you have to run the lights from the parking lights, but then the parking lights only flash and do not stay on.. Was there some setting on the EVIC regarding headlights staying on with the unlock, or something like that?

i know how to get the wires to run from inside and outside the cab, but i do not know what to tap into for turning them on. i kinda want to hook into the courtesy lamps that go on like you said, but i do not know where to make the connection?

Here, try this:

Most lights are wired universally. You just have to decipher the wire colors sometimes. Hope this helps!

He needs to know from where needs to get the "Sense" so that they turn on at the same time with interiors.. Like I said, instead of the "switch" on this diagram below, you can tap into any one of the lights inside and use it as "switch" so anytime they have power, it can tell relay to turn on the exterior lights..
