You gotta be kidding... .

Here are some pictures of the wires you need to tap. The fuse box is behind your glove compartment:

Just go to an Autoelectrician. Pay some money. Problem easily solved.

I have the same ones. Fit beautifully and easy to install.

Red wire to constant power with inline
fuse
Black wire from each scuff plate to racy individual door switch so that plate only comes on when that door is opened

How did you go I want to do the same thing with a strip of LEDs under the door. And what is the "Racy" individual door switch.

Just extend the wires if the are too short. I found my scuffs on eBay.
