As my alarm does nothing, I guess I will just leave it for now. I would like it to work but its not the highest thing on my list. The strange thing is it worked perfect, then I stripped the shell, now it doesnt. Leave it to me...

Ok, so lets say I want to add two LED strips under my dash so that I can actually see what the heck is going on in the dark. (that little light Rover provided is just funny) I want the LEDs to work with the doors....maybe also have a manual switch to turn them on.
The LED kit I found just require one power wire and one ground to get the LEDs lit (they are wired in series, through a module that controls the color and what not). I really want to have them operate when either door is opened as well as maybe a switch from inside. Think thats possible:

Well assuming that the LED lights are very low current (1 or 2 amps) it might be better to connect them together with the interior light. The interior light is fed by line fuse LF-1(15A brown in, purple/orange out). The ground path would be on a purple/white wire connected to the door switch or through the interior light built-in switch. No additional switches needed.

Ok, so the purple/white wires are the grounds?
The "Kit" is made to work with the cars 12v system already. I just need to sort out the install. In a perfect world, I want the LEDs to light with the doors, when the interior light is manually switched AND maybe even a switch by the drive that as well. A perfect world being the key there:-)
