I really thought about doing this, it looks to be a simple mod, with good return. I was going to do the lights under the mirrors, so it would light up when you hit unlock on the fob
Where the light is mounted has nothing to do with how they are turned on, that's the wiring; to me where they are mounted is about how they light up the ground around the area where you want to walk. On the mirror the light is blocked by the door, the light will light up the sidewalk but the road area once the door is opened will be blocked. Mounting the lights under the door will get more light under the door and light up not only the immediate sidewalk but also the road area between the sidewalk and the vehicle. They can be wired to the Fob Entry System, or like me just to the door opening.
The actual light spread will determine just how much much area is lighted but it should work, probably will work in either area.
Yes, thank you I know what would control what would turn them on. It would be tied to the dome light because it comes on when the truck is unlocked. I am not interested in putting them under the door because I am interested in lighting up the area by the door as I walk up
