Ideally, I would like to identify a power source wire for my new bulb that will only come on with the headlights, but am fine with a constant source wire if necessary. Do you happen to know how I can identify a suitable wire in the bundle that feeds into the driver’s door switches?
Thanks.

All of the power sources within the driver door are only constant power (at least in my case). Even the led within the switch itself. Now you may physically have the same wires as the limited but there is a high likelihood that circuits are missing somewhere else. For example when I installed heated seats on the factory circuit, the wire was physically there but there was no power running to it and a relay needed to be added in the engine bay fuse box. Realistically to do this you are going to need to run at least a power wire from the interior switch illumination circuit to the positive of an LED and the negative to an existing ground within the door. If the LED isn't designed for 12 volts you will need to run a 330 OHM resistor in series but make sure the leads don't touch or you will pop a circuit.
