I've seen those, my step dad has a set for his Fiero. Those are sweet. I would love to see a company could do the Monte knight's crest!

No, I want them wire to the circuit so when the door opens the projectors turn on when the dome light does.

I believe you can find it in the kick panel. I forget on the exact color of the wire. I've tapped into it more than once before. I could look at my car and see if I can find where I tapped into it.

You could, but I believe these projectors are installed in the bottom of the door. That would be a long ways to run the wire if you tapped into the dome light. Plus, you'd have to take apart all of the trim around the headliner to run the wire. I would think tapping into the circuit at the kick panel which is closest to door where the wire would be run would be the simplest.
