Ground Courtesy Lights When Doors Open

[bumpy_baldwin]

Noob posting here:

I’ve been trying to find instructions/information on how to wire ground courtesy lights on my wife’s JLU Sahara when she opens the door (and shuts off immediately or in a short time after door closing). Any info provided will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

We did this in my wife's old JK by just tapping into the dome light circuit. In that case, I think we ran the wire up through the LR drain plug area and up through the left B pillar. Even in parking lots if she hit the key fob to unlock the Jeep, it would light up underneath.

Yeah, a set of rock lights tapped into the dome light circuit should work. That’s a good idea
