Ok, here's what I did:
2 Red led's & 2 Blue, (they are clusters of 6 led’s molded into a plastic case)

Blue lights up when headlights/fog switch is used. Looks great!

Red? For the life of me I can find a wire that will let them lit up when opening the door!
Tried almost anything, either they stay lit when the door is closed or don't work at all.
Ideas anyone?

Got it!
Thanks to some wiring help from fellow members.
(Rotary Rasp & Forbidden)
Used a relay and now all is working.

i'm curious though... does the light diffuse well, or focus on one spot?

also, how do you control them? how/where did you mount your switches?
