Illuminated Door Sill Plates

[rexster314]

I just got these off Ebay. Really look great, and I've figured out the wiring kinda. Anyone have any tips on where to tap into a power source? Looks like I'll have to drill into the plastic sill plate so the power cord can be hidden.
Any help appreciated

Generally the cigarette lighter is a popular one to tap

Post pics please! I just lit up my door handles and tapped into the courtesy light on the door panel so that they come on with the lock/unlock and when the doors open but I dont know if thats just a first gen thing or not.

Well, the lighter source won't work as I don't want them on all the time, just when the courtesy lights come on when the doors are opened

Courtesy lights then...

I'm just west of Lansing,MI in Grand Ledge. I don't have any pics yet cuz I only did the drivers door to se if I liked it. I'll take a pic tonite when it gets dark and post it. It went a lot easier than I thought it would. I used a section of strip lighting like on your wheels.

Where's the easiest place to tap into courtesy light wiring? I don't have a problem drilling a hole in the plastic door sills, just don't want to crawl this 65 year old body upside down trying to find a wire

Rexster314, are these the Official Ford Accessory ones or aftermarket ?

The official Ford ones should have come with directions for wiring and drilling.
