haha thanks man, are you gonna do some color change? ill get a wirte up togther when i finish up, its not as smooth as the OEM cloth but it for sure got rid of the crustiness the dye made. it almost feels like a new stiffer material now. the silk worked good but i found some old polyester basketball shorts that seemed to work a lot better.

Oh I see. You only want light when the doors are open. That's a cool idea!

Best solution I have for that is to tap into the dome light and run the wire down the A-piller. Unless you can find the wire on the door itself that goes to the dome light. And IIRC, you can run lights like those in series. But don't quote me on that. I would just stick with a parallel circuit.

so i just took a bunch or more stuff apart... my truck is a mess lol! the connected to the button looks impossible to tap into so i think im gonna do the dome like like you said. So doing a parallel circuit, what would that incude? can i say make the 2 taps on the power wire for the dome lights?

Yeah just take one wire and tap into the dome light power. Then, once that new wire has run down the A-piller, tap into that new wire with another wire. Run each of these wires to a footwell and to the lights. Then either ground each separately or splice the two ground wires into one ground wire and ground just the one wire.
 
that sounds easy enough, thanks man! im not sure ill tackle this or not. i dont think i have all the supplies yet. it should be good though!
 
haha thanks man! yeah i think im over the brush guard but i want to keep my PIAA's so yeah... so far a lot of people say they like it like that, im still not sure if im gonna keep it on there or not.
 
ok so here are some of the pictures of the doors that i said i was gonna take earlier i like it tons better then the tan stuff! it makes it like a whole new truck again!
