I need to A. Tap into existing wire that feeds the courtesy light on the mirrors and B. Run wiring for an LED lightbar so...

HOW THE HECK do I get the kick panels off??!
BTW, does anyone KNOW which wire powers the courtesy lamps in the mirrors?

it always helps to know year, model and engine information

Update your signature line with year model and engine information. This can be done in the USER CP section as this information helps others give you replies specific to your vehicle.

I am referring to the courtesy lights on the outside mirrors. I need to tap into the wire that is fed power when using the keyless entry and the interior/exterior courtesy lights all come on.

Yes, I can understand them but cannot find one.

to remove the kick panels just remove the weather strip that comes down the a pillar and the door kick plate pull the carpet back a little and the kick panel should pull out towards the rear Check to see if there are any screws that need to be removed Am not a 100% sure about the 03 but that is how the 1st gens are done

the best place for you to tap into a wire would be on the drivers side I will try to send you a copy of the connector you need to use and the wire color Use a test light to make sure this is the circuit you need before making any mods to the wire
