I am planning on adding some ambient and courtesy lights. This is what I want to add at the moment.

2 courtesy step lights for the front doors.
2 courtesy lights in the front front footwells.
2 ambient lights in the front footwells.
2 ambient lights on the rear of the front 2 seat bases.

I am wondering where the best place is to connect these lights to without causing too large currents in the OEM loom.

I already have a courtesy light wired into the slider step, this one is connected to the front if the 2 ceiling lights that were in the OEM panels (OEM lights now removed.)

I know there is the white connector behind the glove box. Will these cables be ok to tap into for the 4 courtesy lights
As for ambient light is the wires to the switch capable of handling the current for the 4 planned ambient lights? TIA

I might have missed it but I cant find out any info on how many LED lights that I could connect in the points mentioned to the loom without risk to the wires/ blowing fuses.

7.5A fuse 24 holder C

So a max of 7.5A for the complete circuit fed from the BCM lights output.

How many depends on the watts per lamp, or amps per lamp.

90w/7.5a @ 12v max total.

Morning all, above, I'm planning on doing some ambient lighting in my door trims and wondering the best place to get some. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
